Abstract
Prejudice and attitudes of acculturation: perspectives of autochthonous and immigrants. This study is framed in a wider research on the acculturation process through a new acculturation model. The aim of this paper is to analyse the mutual prejudice between ethnic groups in contact and its relation to their preferred acculturation attitude. A questionnaire composed by various scales was given to four groups of people living in municipalities with high rate of African immigrants in Almería: Maghrebis, SubSaharans, Spaniards who evaluated the Maghreb out-group and Spaniards who responded on the SubSaharan out-group. The results obtained indicate a relation between prejudice and acculturation attitude, as the lowest scores in prejudice are hold in each group by people preferring integration, whilst the highest ones come from those who bow to exclusion/marginalisation.
