متن يادداشت

Following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, which were perpetrated by Muslim extremists, Muslim individuals became targets for hate crimes and hate speech throughout the United States. Islam is the fastest-growing religion in America. Among immigrants to the United States, Muslims made up approximately 5% of the immigrant population in 1992 and approximately 10% of the population in 2012. Facing heightened levels of interpersonal prejudice, stereotyping, discrimination, and threat of and/or actual physical violence by other people, as well as institutionalized discrimination, has many adverse consequences for Muslim Americans. This study examined how various affective, behavioral, and demographic factors contribute to both positive and negative views of Muslim Americans. The hypotheses for this study include the following: (a) Endorsement of polyculturalism is associated with greater allophilia toward Muslim Americans; (b) Endorsement of polyculturalism is associated with less intergroup anxiety toward Muslim Americans; (c) Endorsement of polyculturalism is associated with greater willingness for contact with Muslim Americans; (d) Endorsement of polyculturalism is associated with greater interest in knowing about or helping with issues faced by Muslim Americans; and (e) Endorsement of polyculturalism is associated with reliance on more left-wing, liberal media sources for news. Data were collected through the use of validated survey methods on polyculturalism, allophilia, intergroup anxiety, behavioral intentions, interest in Muslim American issues, and policy attitudes. Based on the findings of this study, willingness to interact with Muslim Americans and interests in Muslim American issues are the 2 factors most associated with the endorsement of polyculturalism. This information can be incorporated into the facilitation of more positive interactions between Muslim Americans and the rest of the American public.
