Abstract
We examined how Right-wing authoritarianism and Social dominance in Latinos and Caucasian whites predicted attitudes toward Latino immigrants. Latino participants held more favorable views toward Latino immigrants, but both factors were linked with less favorable attitudes toward Latino immigrants in both groups. Shared beliefs inform us of prejudices toward immigrants.
