Abstract

Abstract This study is focused on the relationship between the youth and other social groups based on the data of the GeneZYs 2019 study. The study asked 15–29-year-olds from four countries regarding how appealing or unappealing they feel 24 different social groups. Research results show that several social groups, e.g., homosexuals, migrants/refugees, skinheads, drug users, are especially perceived as relatively repulsive/distasteful by the youth of the studied countries. Starting from theoretical and empirical antecedents, the author presumed that the low level of openness among the youth could be explained by several factors such as socio-demographic background, religiosity, value orientation, and sources of information. Based on empirical results, the author takes an analytical approach on the population under study. The goal of the study is to exceed the level of a partial analysis and to explore a typology while redefining the relationship between the motivation factors of prejudices. The hypotheses were partially confirmed. Compared to the author’s expectations, the typology of young people based on their attitudes towards otherness seems to be harder to explain. Three groups were identified: a smaller one which feels others being appealing, a larger one with a neutral attitude towards others and which sympathizes less with Hungarian groups than the average, and a mediumsized third group which dislikes otherness. From the characterization of the groups, one can discover that among those who dislike otherness, the overrepresented categories are: men, young people from rural areas, those who finished secondary education level, those economically active, young people from Ukraine, atheists, those who did not study abroad, people who suffered from discrimination experiences, young people with regional Hungarian and/or Hungarian identity, people who are not satisfied with the national economy and interethnic relations, and those who see the future in a pessimistic way.
关于在罗马尼亚、斯洛伐克、塞尔维亚和乌克兰的匈牙利青年中的偏见制度
本研究基于GeneZYs 2019研究数据,重点研究青年与其他社会群体之间的关系。这项研究调查了来自四个国家的15 - 29岁的年轻人,询问他们对24个不同社会群体的吸引力或不吸引力。研究结果显示,若干社会群体,例如同性恋者、移徙者/难民、光头党、吸毒者等,被所研究国家的青年特别认为是相对令人厌恶/反感的。从理论和实证的前提出发,作者认为青年的开放性水平低可以由社会人口背景、宗教信仰、价值取向和信息来源等因素来解释。在实证结果的基础上,作者对研究对象采取了分析方法。本研究的目的是超越局部分析的水平,在重新界定偏见动机因素之间关系的同时,探索一种类型。这些假设得到了部分证实。与作者的预期相比,基于对他者态度的年轻人类型学似乎更难解释。研究人员确定了三种群体:较小的群体觉得别人很有吸引力;较大的群体对他人持中立态度,对匈牙利群体的同情程度低于平均水平;中等的第三类群体不喜欢他人。从这些群体的特征中,我们可以发现,在那些不喜欢他人的群体中,代表性过高的类别是:男性,来自农村地区的年轻人,完成中等教育水平的人,经济活跃的人,来自乌克兰的年轻人,无神论者,没有出国留学的人,遭受歧视经历的人,具有匈牙利和/或匈牙利地区身份的年轻人,对国家经济和种族间关系不满意的人,以及对未来持悲观态度的人。
