Evidence
Allport therefore concluded: “One of the facts of which we are most certain is that people who reject one out-group will tend to reject other out-groups. If a person is anti-Jewish, he is likely to be anti-Catholic, anti- Negro, anti any out-group” (1954/1979, p. 68). He also went on to assert that this “generality of prejudice” constituted a strong argument for saying that “prejudice is basically a trait of personality” (1954/1979, p. 73; italics in the original). — , Rudman, Laurie A - On the Nature of…, 2427 (
