Three forms of the Situational Attitude Scale (SAS), measuring attitudes toward Aborigines, New Australians and a neutral form, were administered to 314 white Australian university and college students (New Australians are immigrants from non-English speeking European countries). Analysis of the data indicated that white Australian students have a positive bias in favor of both Aborigines and New Australians, although they were more negative toward New Australians supporting the general hypothesis that the more culturally relevant the minority group, the more likely that group is to be perceived unfavorably by the majority culture. Experimenters discussed findings in items of their application to other countries and concluded that Australians were not as negative toward their culturally relevant outgroup as were Americans, Danes or Japanese.
