Abstract

The present study was designed to obtain an overall picture of the relative importance of different manifestations of communication phenomena interpreted as discriminatory. In addition, the individual contribution of a set of predictors of communication discrimination was assessed. Four dimensions of perceived discrimination were explored: the contexts/situations where Hispanics perceive discrimination to take place; the attributes perceived by Hispanics as elicitors of discriminatory behaviors on the part of Anglos; the characteristics of those Anglos perceived to be more likely to discriminate; and the behaviors which can be interpreted as being discriminatory by Hispanics. Contexts, in particular work and school, were found to be the most important predictors of communication discrimination.
