Education and Ethnic Prejudice in Europe: Explanations for Cross-National Variances in the Educational Effect on Ethnic Prejudice.

Hello, Evelyn; Scheepers, Peer; Gijsberts, Merove

Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, v46 n1 p5-24 Mar 2002

Studied cross-national variances in the effect of education on ethnic prejudice using data from11 European countries with a total sample of 11,904 adults. Findings show that a country's democratic tradition and degree of religious heterogeneity are important for the strength of an educational effect on ethnic prejudice, while ethnic composition and unemployment rate are less relevant.
