Prejudices that Cross: The Relationship between Racism, Sexism and Values

Abstract This study aimed to analyze the relationship between Modern Racism and Ambivalent Sexism using Human Values as a third variable that could explain this relationship, given its predictive power against social phenomena. The sample consisted of 200 participants distributed almost equally regarding gender, including 101 (50.5%) women and 99 (49.5%) men. The mean age of the respondents was 23 years (SD = 5.41). It was observed that Ambivalent Sexism and Modern Racism are positively correlated as they are also related to the Realization, Interactive, and Normative subfunctions of Human Values, partially explaining the relationship between racism and sexism. It was concluded that modern expressions of racism and sexism are interconnected and that normative values, which aim to maintain social stability and tradition, may play an important role in partially explaining this connection.

摘要 本研究旨在分析现代种族主义（Modern Racism）与矛盾性别偏见（Ambivalent Sexism）之间的关联，鉴于人类价值观（Human Values）对社会现象具备预测效力，故将其作为阐释该关联的第三变量。本研究样本包含200名被试，性别分布近乎均衡，其中女性101名（占比50.5%），男性99名（占比49.5%）；被试平均年龄为23岁（SD=5.41）。研究结果显示，矛盾性别偏见与现代种族主义呈正相关，且二者均与人类价值观的实现型、互动型及规范型子功能存在关联，可部分解释种族主义与性别偏见间的关联。研究结论表明，现代形式的种族主义与性别偏见相互关联，而旨在维护社会稳定与传统的规范型价值观，或可在部分阐释这一关联中发挥重要作用。
