a) equal or lower
b) higher
c) average
d) equal or higher

Respuesta :

Answer: b) higher

Explanation:

Batson, Schoenrade and Ventis (1993) manifested that between 1940 and 1990, from 47 studies, 37 presented a positive relation between religion and prejudice while only two studies showed a negative relation.

Wulff (1997) asserted that variables in religion such as religious afiliation, church attendance, doctrinal orthodoxy, etc. relate positively with ethnocentrism, authoritarianism, dogmatism and social prejudice.

Besides, a number of studies confirm the hypothesis that the more religious a person is, the more likely he is to be prejudiced (Meadow and Kahoe, 1985).
