Pro-Diversity Beliefs and Everyday Ethnic Discrimination on Grounds of Foreign Names.

ABSTRACT The paper examined the effect of positive beliefs about the value of ethnic diversity (i.e. diversity beliefs) on discrimination due to foreign sounding names. It was hypothesized that pro-diversity beliefs reduce discrimination. Results from two studies (N = 29 and N = 104) confirmed this hypothesis. Practical implications of our results are discussed.
