When immigrants and converts are not truly one of us: Examining the social psychology and developmental antecedents of marginalizing racism

    Project: Research

    Project Details

    Description

    What does it mean when people say, for example, that Muslim Australians will never be true Australians? How can people hold the contradictory beliefs that others can be in their group, yet not in? We identify these views as a form of Marginalizing Racism, an insidious and duplicitous form of racism that has been completely overlooked by psychologists, yet present since at least the Middle Ages. Using experimental social and developmental psychology experiments, we will measure these views, explore how they are construed in people s minds, observe their consequences, and identify their social and developmental causes.
