Comparing the attribution of values to white and black people, shown in Table 3 , the values attibuted to a greater extent to the blacks were the social well-being, of collectivist nature, as observed in Study 1. These values would be more representative of the cultures of third world or developing countries, like Latin America and Africa Hofstede, Hofstede, G.
Among the values attibuted to a greater degree to whites are those characterized in Study 1 as the first world values or from developed countries, which are more individualistic, like the individual well-being, professional well-being and materialism. Also worthy of attention is the fact that participants have attibuted to themselves and to the white greater adherence to religious values compared to blacks, bearing in mind that the african-Brazilian religions are seen as typical of the black population in Brazil Camino et al.
The studies developed here analysed whether individuals perceive dissimilarities between the values attibuted to themselves, to white and to the black, and if these dissimilarities follow a prejudiced logic, expressing subtle racism. It must be noted that this study used the societal approach of values Pereira et al.
Thus, this research took into account that both the individual needs and priorities of individuals are also social constructions. The main findings of this study indicated a perception of differences between the values attibuted as important for blacks and whites.
People both high and low on religious fundamentalism are prejudiced toward dissimilar groups. Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.

International Journal of Intercultural Relations, 35 3 , Individual differences in commitment to value-based beliefs and the amplification of perceived belief dissimilarity effects.
Journal of Personality, 83 2 , According to Greenhalgh and Watt Greenhalgh, E. Therefore, the initial premise of this study was that the skin color has an influence, in a sense, on the association with the systems of values. In the case of the white, they would be associated with progressive values of the first world freedom, equality, fraternity, social justice , and in the case of the black, they would be associated with traditional values, typical of the third world materialistic, hedonistic and religious values.
It is important to highlight that the goal here was not to attribute a negative or positive character to values, as in the societal approach values are designed as ideologies about how society should be organized, with possibility of organizing them hierarchically, for example, in function of socio-economic progress. Some studies by Camino et al. Asedios a la psique latino-americana. In this sense, the results obtained in this study were similar, although the task of the participants was to indicate which values Brazilian blacks and whites consider most important to their lives.
Regarding the first study, results did not confirm the assumptions of Inglehart, with respect to the belief that the third world countries would be characterized by materialistic, hedonistic and religious values, and the first world countries, by values of social, individual and professional well-being.
First, while they attach to themselves the values of individual well-being primarily, they attach almost exclusively values of social well-being to the black population. These results can be interpreted in the light of the current socio-political context. The appreciation of social justice would be linked both to the awareness of strong social discrimination practiced in Brazil and to the increasing claims of the black population.
The results of this study contradict what Inglehart Inglehart, R. However, the Brazilian university students, of third-world, attributed the post-materialistic values of social, individual and professional well-being as the most important values for themselves. However, these results can be justified by the level of education of the participants, as were they were university students and, according to Vala Vala, J.
La emergencia de los valores post-materialistas en Portugal. Inglehart Eds. Madrid: Fundesco. In addition, the new economic and cultural changes at the global level, and the new tone that has been given to some countries before categorized as third world countries, and today named as emerging due to the economic position they are achieving, such as the BRICs Brazil, Russia, India and China , calls for a reflection on what are countries of first and third world and if the students of the research believe that they are living in a third world country.
The definition adopted in this study of first and third world is not restricted to a specific technique but to the concept of common sense of the characteristics that these countries have. However, participants were not asked how they would classify their country. This could be assessed in future studies, taking into account that the attribution of values may differ depending on the position that the evaluator has. Along with the perceptions of the values of social groups, the structure of values of each individual is an important factor in attitudes and behavior towards outgroups.
Participants attributed post-materialistic values as the most important values for themselves, even though Brazil is a country where social, political and basic economic problems have not been solved. As an example of this, we can mention the demonstrations that took place in the country in In other words, Brazil is still classified as a developing country and, therefore, materialistic values are widely shared. Souza Eds.
Thus, participants may consider both post-materialistic and materialistic values equally important, not necessarily coming into contradiction. According to Billig Billig, M. Prejudice, categorization and particularization: From a perceptual to a rhetorical approach. European Journal of Social Psychology, 15 1 , That is, both moral aspirations of freedom, fraternity and equality, and concerns regarding the practical application of justice in the world are together in the same society.

Then, the more the bias is criticized, the more prejudices coming from liberalism are justified, and the self-defense of anti-racist rules could result in justification of the own prejudice. This study also confirms the results of previous studies Lima, Lima, M.
Silva Eds. The results obtained in this research infer that there are differences in attribution that participants make to themselves, to black and to white Brazilians. In general, participants adhere more to religious values and values of individual and professional well-being, while they attribute individualistic values to the white, and collectivist values to the black.
Although the results presented here are consistent with the literature, some limitations were identified. The sample used in this study is composed entirely of students with high education level, which may explain, for example, the preference for postmaterialist values.
In this regard, future studies could test the objectives proposed here with samples of the general population, which might lead to different results than those observed here. Another limitation concerns the content of the religious system in PVQ that refers to religious values of Christianity, excluding other aspects of the religions of African origin. Future studies may broaden the content of the items of this system by adding items that cover other aspects of religiosity.
It is important to note that the content of the items may vary depending on the cultural context and can be adapted to different cultures without detriment to the religious value system.
Another possible limitation is related to the fact that the skin color of participants were not controlled, neither in data collection nor in the analysis. However, the studies were conducted in contexts where white and brown skin color predominated and the participants were randomly allocated to the experimental conditions, what can control possible differences of judgments made by participants from minority groups.
Lastly, although the results obtained indicate that participants perceive dissimilarities between the values that are most important to blacks and whites, we did not test directly whether this perception of dissimilarity leads to prejudice-based attitudes. In general, this research contributes to understanding the relationship between racial prejudice and the allocation of social values, as it addressed two topics directly related to the attitudes and behaviors of individuals who can make use of representational repertoires, such as the perception of similarities and dissimilarities between the values of social groups, to justify, in a subtle way, their prejudiced actions.

Abstract The process of attribution values to some groups can be used as a resource for determining differences between ingroup and outgroup, what may lead to discriminatory behavior against the outgroup. Keywords: social values; racism; attribution; intergroup relations. Social values In social psychology, the explanations given to values are mostly of intra-individual nature.

Gouveia, V. Greenhalgh, E. Guan, Y. Hofstede, G. Inglehart, R. Katz, I. Kinder, D. Leach, C. Leyens, J. Lima, M. Lima-Nunes, A. Racist has become a similarly protean term. Many of us think its meaning is obvious, but it has evolved quite a bit from its original signification over the past several decades.
To many, it would seem to fall transparently under this definition of racist when President Trump, irritated with the leftist critiques of America from four Democratic congresswomen of color, suggests that they return to their native countries. Three, for the record, were born in the United States, and the other is a longtime citizen. But Republicans have taken umbrage at being called racist for supporting such rhetoric.
Peter Beinart: By Republican standards, almost nothing is racist. One response is that these Republicans are more offended at being called racist than at being racist. They are operating upon the unusual complexities that the word racist has accreted, in a way that allows them to at least pretend they are not racist, and possibly genuinely believe that they are not.
Make no mistake—all evidence, listed elsewhere too exhaustively to bear my repeating it here, confirms that the president is a bigot. The question is whether Trump in his recent statements is expressing that bigotry as baldly as many suppose.
People claiming that Trump said nothing racist may not be exactly the sharpest knives in the drawer on questions of sociology, and Trump himself is, on that score, a plastic spoon. But the realities of the word racist lend Trump and people like him two strategic, and maybe even cognitive, outs.
One is that racist carries baggage beyond its dictionary meaning. To be a racist is considered not just a matter of bland categorization but of evil, a charge only somewhat less damning than being called a pedophile, as chilling a prospect in modern American life as being tarred as a communist was in the late s and early s. Surely, though, what is moral is not that which is popular. According to that logic, slavery was correct in the days of yore because few questioned it.
However, here we run into a problem larger than Trump and his pals—that racist has morphed to refer to animus beyond the conscious and deliberate. Their process of racialisation brought advantages rather than disadvantages. So, although there are stereotypes about white minority ethnic groups in Scotland and these groups can face prejudice and discrimination, we would describe this as xenophobic prejudice rather than racism.
CRER includes tackling inequality faced by white minority ethnic groups within our work where there is evidence to show they face a disadvantage, but our focus is primarily on tackling racism.
For many hundreds of years, white British society has enjoyed a position of economic, social, and political power over non-white people in Britain and across the world through empire and colonialism and their after-effects. Although people in Scotland often know little about this history, the social attitudes that developed over this time are still present in our society.
Whiteness is not just about skin colour. Non-white groups can also be influenced by white ideology, reflecting it in their own attitudes and behaviours in order to benefit from some of the power it brings or reduce the risk of being discriminated against.
This would include, for instance, people being afraid to talk about racism for fear of offending their white friends. Disrupting that view makes people who subscribe to it uncomfortable. The fact that Black and minority ethnic people are constantly treated as being different, even if several generations of their family have been born in Scotland, means that they face racism to some degree throughout their lives.
