Abstract

We examined interrelations among belief in a just world, modern sexism, feelings towards social groups, conservatism, and religiosity in undergraduates. Conservatism, religiosity, and belief in a just world correlated with modern sexism and negative feelings towards stigmatized groups. Students reported getting their news from unreliable sources regardless of political orientation.
