Abstract

This study examined the influence of personal values, social trust, and political trust on multicultural acceptance among 1243 Korean people. Multicultural acceptance was divided into two factors: prejudice and hospitality. The main findings of the study are as follows: first, an individual with a strong materialist value has a high level of prejudice against foreigners and a low level of hospitality. Second, when the level of social trust is high, the level of prejudice is low and the level of hospitality is high. Third, social trust and the meritocratic view interact to lower the level of prejudice. Based on these findings, future research directions were suggested.
