Uncertainty Intolerance Drives Ethnocentrism

What is it about?

Investigating the relative contributions of Uncertainty Intolerance, Cultural Exposure, and Cultural Knowledge to Ethnocentrism.

Why is it important?

When we teach and train people to be "multicultural" (i.e., *not* ethnocentric), we often presume that filling them with information about cultural others is essential. However, this study found that self-reported levels of cultural knowledge were unrelated ethnocentrism. Instead, ethnocentrism was best predicted by cultural exposure and uncertainty intolerance. Thus this study indicates that training people to accept uncertainty might also reduce their ethnocentrism.
