| Description | The wearing of the Islamic veil by Muslim women has become a source of tensions in Western European countries. In order to investigate majoritymembers’ attitudes towards the veil in Belgium, the focus is on the role of subtle prejudice/racism on the host society’s attitudes towards immigrants, (b) the role of values on acculturation, and (c) the role of religious attitudes on prejudice. Results revealed the effects of subtle prejudice/racism, values (self-enhancement values and security versus universalism), and religious attitudes (literal anti-religious thinking versus spirituality), in predicting greater levels of anti-veil attitudes beyond the effects of other related variables such as age and political conservatism. The studies also suggest the importance of including religious attitudes as part of the intergroup-relation factors that predict attitudes towards immigrants, at least with regard to specific components of intercultural relations. |
