| Abstract
|
:
|
Arab American prejudice is a prevalent yet understudied phenomenon. The current research aimed to develop a model of Arab American prejudice. Participants were recruited via Mturk. Study 1 assessed the relationship between negative media exposure, illusory correlation effects, and Arab American prejudice. When controlling for SDO, greater negative media exposure was associated with greater illusory correlation effects and greater Arab American prejudice. Study 2 assessed if a counter-stereotypic informational intervention reduces illusory correlation effects, and if this in turn reduces Arab American prejudice. Empathy was assessed as a moderator in the relationship between the intervention and illusory correlation effects. Exposure to counter-stereotypic information lead to reduced illusory correlations, which in turn lead to reduced Arab American prejudice. Empathy was not a significant moderator. Empathy appeared to have an independent relationship with prejudice (not through illusory correlation effects) and was a significant covariate.
