    • Abstract:
      A group of 48 high prejudice (HP) Ss and 48 low prejudice (LP) Ss were studied, with ½ of each group exposed to an aggression inducing film and ½ to a control film. When a measure of fantasy aggression (Objective Apperception Test) was employed, LP Ss exceeded HP Ss in expression of prejudice. However, when a verbal measure of prejudice (Triandis and Triandis Social Distance scale) was employed, an increase in prejudice always followed instigation to aggression, HP Ss always exceeded LP Ss in expression of prejudice, and scapegoating was specifically isolated towards the Chinese.
