  • One view in the study of intergroup conflict is that pride implies prejudice. However, an increasing number of scholars have come to view in-group pride more benignly, suggesting that such pride can be accompanied by a full range of feelings toward the out-group. The article focuses on a substantively interesting case of in-group/out-group attitudes from a 1981-97 data set - national pride and hostility toward immigrants. The authors explore the relationship in two fundamental ways: first by examining the prejudice associated with various dimensions of pride, and second by embedding these relationships in a comprehensive model of prejudice. National pride was most validly measured with two dimensions - patriotism and nationalism - two dimensions that have very different relationships with prejudice. While nationalists had a strong predilection for hostility toward immigrants, patriots showed no more prejudice than did the average citizen.
