Abstract

This study investigates stereotypes towards the Roma minority in the Czech and Slovak Republics, bridging a literature gap. Using 2014 Ipsos survey data, it examines financial, physical, welfare, and wealth insecurities' impact on personal perceptions of Romas. Through principal component analysis and demographic control (age, education, income, and family size), nuanced insights emerge. Financial insecurity correlates with less favorable attitudes towards Roma neighbors, while physical insecurity leans towards acceptance. Age inversely relates to intolerance, with income, education, and regional factors insignificantly impacting attitudes. These findings offer experimental evidence for minority-majority dynamics, informing efforts to combat biases and promote societal cohesion through intergroup dialogue.
