Part 2: Outline the similarities and differences between Adorno et al.’s (1950) and Kumar et
al.’s (2011) approaches to the study of people’s beliefs and attitudes.
Adorno et al.’s (1950) study of authoritarianism personality and Kumar et al.’s (2011) study
of student’s attitudes towards peers in mixed ethnicity groups in American schools both
researched the beliefs and attitudes of others with the focus of finding out what it was that
caused a person to be prejudice towards an ethnic minority group. This essay will outline
the similarities and differences between these two major studies within psychology
focussing on the approaches to the study of people’s beliefs and attitudes.
The aims of the researchers were based around similar topics regarding people’s attitudes
and beliefs towards people from ethnic minority backgrounds. Adorno et al. (1950) aimed to
explain why a vast amount of people contributed to the genocide that occurred in the
Second World War which was ethnically motivated by Nazi Germany as discussed by
McAvoy (2020). Furthermore, Kumar et al. (2011) as cited by McAvoy (2017) wanted to find
out the attitudes of young white people in America towards their peers of Middle Eastern
descent based on prior research that suggested that being white, in a majority white culture
is a protective factor and taken for granted. In conclusion, this shows one similarity between
both studies, as they focused mainly on the attitudes of white people in America towards
ethnic minority groups and aimed to research how personality and self-perception influence
