They're All Alike to Me: Student Acceptance of Foreign Students
College student participants (207) read a job summary of a student applicant and evaluated the candidate for Job Success, Likability, and Personal Adjustment. They then were given an opportunity to volunteer or decline to offer various degrees of hospitality. Sex and qualifications of the candidates were held constant. The only variable was national origin of the candidate, which was either Africa, East (China or India), or West (France or USA). The American students rated the candidates from Africa lower on Likability and Personal Adjustment than they did the candidates from the West. There were no differences on Job Success and the hospitality measures. Gender and ethnicity of the evaluators proved to be important factors. Implications for immigrants, international students, and various social psychology theories of prejudice are discussed.
