23 Christian and 47 Moslem upper-middle-class Arabs studying engineering in Oklahoma and Texas were administered the F Scale, the Traditional Family Ideology Scale, and a revised Bogardus Social Distance Scale "applying to four minority groups in the Arab World (Armenians( Kurds, Jews, and Circassians)." Authoritarianism was found to be "significantly related to traditional family ideology . . . and to prejudice toward Jews" but not to prejudice toward the other 3 minority groups. "Personal loss at the hands of an out-groups" did not appear to "increase hostility toward that out-group more than is revealed by other members who did not suffer any such losses." (22 ref.)
