Psychological and Cultural Foundations of Prejudice: The Case of Anti-Semitism in Quebec
|
| Abstract |
The authors investigate the sources of anti-Semitism and ethnocentrism prejudice among Francophone Quebecers within socio-cultural, psychological and political factors, and determine that socio-cultural factors are the basis for anti-Semitism in Quebec. They argue that the greater readiness of Francophones to look unfavourably on Jews is largely a consequence of the high value placed upon conformity in Quebec culture. Francophone Quebecers differ from other Canadians not primarily in a willingness to subscribe to a full syndrome of anti-Semitic sentiments, they conclude, but in casually accepting negative characterizations of Jews.
