Eastern religious primes reduce prejudice more than Western ones do

Evidence

Buddhist primes have been found to decrease prejudice toward ethnic and religious targets, although this effect is less consistent for atheist and sexual minority targets (Clobert et al., 2015; Ramsay et al., 2014). Clobert et al. (2015) suggests that it is possible that some of the potential drivers of prejudice in Western religions (e.g., dogmatism and rigidity) are attenuated within Eastern religions, such as Buddhism. — Annetta Snell and Miron Zuckerman and Bonnie M.
