Abstract

The present study explored whether the values people endorsed predicted the attitudes toward minority groups in Korea. More specifically, I examined through a nation-wide survey (N=2000) whether the value of universalism predicted positive attitudes toward minority groups such as East-Asian workers, the disabled, the defectors from North Korea, North Koreans, and Honam people, while the values of power and self direction․achievement predicted negatively the attitudes toward these minority groups. I also examined the effect of these values on the attitudes toward the governmental policies for the minority groups. The results demonstrated that Koreans showed more negative attitudes towards East-Asian workers, the disabled, the defectors from North Korea, North Koreans than towards Honam and Youngnam people. The results of the regression analysis generally supported the hypotheses. That is, power value predicted negative attitudes towards minority groups while it was related to positive attitudes toward Youngnam people. On the other hand, universalism value that people held predicted positive attitudes toward minority groups as well as positive attitudes toward policies for the minorities. I discussed these results in terms of the theoretical and practical implications.
