The structure and dynamics of the ethnic attitudes of Jewish adolescents.

Abstract
A factorial analysis was carried out on a variety of measures obtained from 100 Jewish high school students in Montreal. A general factor composed of negative attitudes to Jews and to gentiles, a hostile disposition to people, and verbal aggression against nonconformists was isolated. This factor, reflecting a generally negative social orientation, is independent of 2 other factors representing attitudes to parents and attitudes to self. The factorial structure suggests that manifest hostiliity is a possible mediating variable linking all 3 factors. (23 ref.) (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)
