Abstract
Discrimination happens in many ways and in many places, and it has many negative consequences. But it might also have a positive impact on the attitude one holds toward their own ethnic background according to ethnic affirmation and disintegration opposed to the cognitive dissonance theory and the social identity theory, that state it does have a negative impact on that attitude. This effect could also differ for different ethnicities. I researched this to find support for the contrasting theories. I did this research by running an analysis, which consisted of a sample of the Dutch population with a slight overrepresentation of Turkish and Moroccan people. From this analysis it was concluded that a higher level of experienced discrimination did not significantly correlate with a positive attitude, but also that a high level of experienced discrimination did not significantly correlate with a negative attitude. However it could be concluded that the effect of discrimination on attitude was more positive for Surinamese and Antillean respondents than for Turkish and Moroccan respondents, even though there was no significant proof of the effect of discrimination itself.
