Intergroup attitudes influence opinions on national break-ups. Positive views of the other group increased support for devolution among the English majority but decreased it among the Welsh minority.

Area of Science:

  • Social Psychology
  • Political Science

Background:

  • National identity and intergroup relations are crucial in understanding political decisions.
  • Devolution referendums often highlight existing tensions between majority and minority groups.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To test if intergroup attitudes predict attitudes toward national break-up (devolution).
  • To examine how majority and minority group members' intergroup attitudes relate to devolution support.

Main Methods:

  • A field experiment involving Welsh and English participants before a devolution referendum.
  • A laboratory experiment manipulating majority/minority status and intergroup attitudes.

Main Results:

  • Significant correlations were found between intergroup attitudes and devolution support.

    • Conclusions:

    • Intergroup attitudes are a key factor in understanding devolution attitudes.
    • The relationship between intergroup attitudes and devolution support differs between majority and minority groups.
