在大多数关于种族态度的研究中，教育程度与积极的群体内态度(或消极的群体外态度)之间存在着相当强的负相关关系。然而，在不同的国家背景下，这种教育效果在多大程度上有所不同并不为人所知。本研究利用1995年在22个国家收集的调查数据，考察了教育对民族主义和种族排外主义的不同维度的影响。来自社会化理论的概念被用来检验教育效果是否随着自由民主传统的长度和一个国家内宗教异质性的程度而不同。结果表明，受教育程度与民族排外主义和沙文主义密切相关，而与爱国主义无关。此外，在最近建立的民主国家，教育对种族排外主义的影响较小。关于宗教异质性更强的社会的教育效果更强的假设不被支持。
In most studies on ethnic attitudes, a rather strong negative relationship has been found between educational attainment and positive ingroup attitudes (or negative outgroup attitudes). However it is not well known to what extent this educational effect varies across different national contexts. This study investigated the effect of education on different dimensions of nationalism and ethnic exclusionism with the use of 1995 survey data gathered in 22 countries. Notions from socialization theory were used to test whether the educational effect varies according to the length of liberal-democratic tradition and the degree of religious heterogeneity within a country. Results indicate that educational attainment is strongly related to ethnic exclusionism as well as chauvinism, but not to patriotism. Moreover the effect of education on ethnic exclusionism is smaller in recently established democracies. The hypothesis regarding stronger educational effects in societies with more religious heterogeneity was not supported.
