Resumen

Antecedentes: la literatura rara vez ha prestado atención a la diferente influencia que el contacto con el exogrupo ejerce en el prejuicio manifiesto y sutil. En este estudio hipotetizamos que el contacto con el exogrupo influye de forma más acusada en las formas manifiestas del prejuicio, por lo que el prejuicio sutil es más resistente al cambio. Método: se contrastaron estas tres hipótesis con un diseño correlacional en una muestra de 1.655 adolescentes españoles escolarizados. El prejuicio manifiesto y sutil se evaluó con una versión breve adaptada a la población adolescente española de la escala de prejuicio sutil y manifiesto de Meertens y Pettigrew. Resultados: los resultados de los análisis multivariados multinivel para variables dependientes correlacionadas confirmaron las hipótesis. Los estudiantes tendieron a puntuar más en prejuicio sutil que en manifiesto; la relación estadística entre el contacto con el exogrupo y el prejuicio es negativa (a mayor contacto, menor prejuicio); y esta relación negativa es más acusada en el caso del prejuicio manifiesto. Conclusiones: los resultados proporcionan evidencia estadística que apoya la mayor resistencia al cambio del prejuicio sutil en comparación con el prejuicio manifiesto.
