Kurzfassung:
Summarizes and comments on the findings of a sociological research project on the attitudes toward Jews of a sample of 1,000 students from Hungarian universities and colleges in 1992-93. Focusing on stereotypes, remarks that Jews are perceived as a distinctive outgroup, with stereotypical negative or positive attributes. According to the survey, 48% of the students are not antisemitic, 45% are "moderately" antisemitic (with some anti-Jewish prejudices), and 7% form an antisemitic hard core. The last category considers the Jews as a dangerous rival group. Points to a significant change in the prejudicial stereotypes, e.g. the lack of influence of the traditional stereotype of the money-grubbing Jews. Concludes that the survey shows that stereotyping does not necessarily imply antisemitism. It could reflect, also, the relationship between prejudice and attitudes toward the assimilation of the Jews.
