Abstract

Abstract:Recent migrations of East European Roma have exacerbated the currently widespread phenomenon of antiziganism in Europe, but there are cultural, social, political, and historical factors in the various European countries that may affect reactions to Roma in diverse ways. This study aims to compare the attitudes of two groups of 198 young Italian and French people towards Romanian Roma. Stereotypical representations, affective reactions, and levels of cognitive and affective ambivalence were assessed. The results showed a univalent prejudice even if the attitudes of the Italian participants were more unfavourable than those expressed by their French peers. The data showed a similar stereotypical image of the outgroup but different intensities in the affective variables assessed. Italian and French participants were cognitively but not affectively ambivalent towards the Romanian Roma, and the difference between the two levels of cognitive ambivalence was not statistically significant. Potential social factors, such as the history of migration or the political agenda setting, are hypothesized as the origin of the differences in the intensities of Italian and French participants' feelings towards the Romanian Roma.

对罗马尼亚罗姆人的态度矛盾：意大利和法国学生的比较

摘要:近年来东欧罗姆人的移民加剧了欧洲普遍存在的反犹太主义现象，但欧洲各国的文化、社会、政治和历史因素可能以不同的方式影响对罗姆人的反应。这项研究旨在比较198名意大利和法国年轻人对罗马尼亚罗姆人的态度。评估了刻板印象表征、情感反应以及认知和情感矛盾心理的水平。结果显示，即使意大利参与者的态度比法国参与者的态度更不利，他们也存在一种单一偏见。数据显示了外群体的相似刻板印象，但在评估的情感变量中强度不同。意大利和法国的参与者对罗马尼亚罗姆人有认知上的矛盾，但没有情感上的矛盾，两种认知矛盾水平之间的差异没有统计学意义。潜在的社会因素，如移民历史或政治议程设置，被假设为意大利和法国参与者对罗马尼亚罗姆人的感情强度差异的根源。

期刊介绍： Founded in 1888, the Journal of the Gypsy Lore Society was published in four series up to 1982. In 2000, the journal became Romani Studies. On behalf of the Gypsy Lore Society, Romani Studies features articles on many different communities which, regardless of their origins and self-appellations in various languages, have been referred to in English as Gypsies. These communities include the descendants of migrants from the Indian subcontinent which have been considered as falling into three large subdivisions, Dom, Lom, and Rom. The field has also included communities of other origins which practice, or in the past have practiced, a specific type of service nomadism. The journal publishes articles in history, anthropology, ethnography, sociology, linguistics, art, literature, folklore and music, as well as reviews of books and audiovisual materials.
