Religious Orthodoxy and Minority Prejudice: Causal Relationship or Reflection of Localistic World View?
Abstract
This study examines the relationship of religious orthodoxy to prejudice against minorities using a world-view perspective. Instead of regarding the two as causally relate, I argue that both religious belief and intolerance toward minorities are reflections of a localistic world view formed by individuals with limited social perspectives. Data from a North Carolina survey sample support this explanantion, showing that the orthodoxy-prejudice relationship is partially spurious when localism is controlled and that a portion of the influence of education upon prejudice is also expressed indirectly through localism as an intervening orientation. These findings, based upon a causal analysis of anti-Semitic, anti-black, and anti-Catholic attitudes, sugest the need for further attention to "breadth of perspective" as a factor in theories concerning prejudice.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
