First published in 1999, this book gives an inventory of factors
contributing to ethnic prejudice in seven countries and the role of
formal education among them on the basis of national surveys. It
appears that education is crucial in all the countries surveyed and
contributes to more tolerant views of ethnic and national
minorities in Western European countries, Poland and the United
States. The positive effects of education, however, do not always
counter the negative effects of personality characteristics and
conservative values on ethnic prejudice. Moreover, the negative
effects of less formal education may be reinforced by perceived
economical competition of ethnic minorities and thereby further
bolster prejudiced views of the less educated. This indicates that
formal education alone is not sufficient to change prejudiced
views. Other forms of socialization transmitting values leading to
open-mindedness and the ability to secure one's economic position
have to support the positive effects of formal education as well.
