Myers, Chris, Abrams, Dominic, Rosenthal, Harriet E. S., Christian, Julie (2013) Threat, prejudice and stereotyping in the context of Japanese, North Korean, and South Korean intergroup relations. Current Research in Social Psychology, 20 (7). pp. 76-85. ISSN 1088-7423. (KAR id:35760)

Abstract

Integrated threat theory, realistic conflict theory, and group justification (based on social

identity theory) were evaluated in the international context of Japanese prejudice toward North

Korea and South Korea. Military threat emerged as an important addition to the four threats

outlined by integrated threat theory. Three perceived North Korean threats (realistic [domestic]

threat; intergroup anxiety; military threat) predicted prejudice toward North Korea. North

Korean prejudice predicted negative stereotypes, supporting group-justification theory.

Perceived North Korean realistic [domestic] threat predicted prejudice toward South Korea.

Prejudice toward South Korea predicted negative stereotypes of North Korea, suggesting a

mechanism by which prejudice generalizes.
