Résumé: | A random sample of the residents of the SMSA of "Middletown" (Muncie, Indiana) participated in a telephone survey during October of 2002 concerning their views of Arabs and people of Islamic faith. The impact of an individual's church environment and that of both an authoritarian orientation and a social-dominance orientation on negative attitudes toward people of Islamic faith in the aftermath of September 11 were investigated. The findings indicated that attending a conservative, fundamentalist Protestant church had the major impact on holding anti-Islamic attitudes and that both an authoritarian orientation and a social-dominance orientation also had some influence, but to a lesser extent. However, those who had the greatest anti-Islamic attitudes were conservative Protestants who had a social-dominance personality disposition. Explanations of these results are then presented. |
