Evidence
Allport assumed that most people embraced the tenets of the American Creed and, hence, were vulnerable to inner conflict. Yet, the contemporary work suggests that there is some variability in the extent to which people internalize these ideals, and little is currently known about the characteristics of those who strongly internalize nonprejudiced standards and those who do so less strongly. — John F. Dovidio, Peter Glick, Laurie A. Rudman, On the Nature of Prejudice, 2124
