Amarina Ariyanto, "Intergroup attribution bias in the context of Christian-Muslim conflict in Indonesia" The intergroup attribution bias describes the tendency for people to attribute negative intergroup behaviour predominantly to situational factors, and negative outgroup behaviours predominately to dispositional factors. This study examines the intergroup attribution bias in the context of the continuing intergroup conflict between Muslims and Christians in Maluku, Indonesia. The primary source of information was articles about Maluku incidents from one Christian and one Muslim newspaper. The articles were coded with respect to the extent they attribute events to situational or dispositional causes. It is predicted that both newspapers will be more likely to use situational attributions when reporting negative ingroup behaviours than when reporting negative outgroup behaviours. This study is still in progress, and is now in analysis stage. Biography: |
