  • Xenophobia is the fear and distrust of that which is perceived to be foreign or strange. Xenophobia can manifest itself in many ways involving the relations and perceptions of an ingroup towards an outgroup, including a fear of losing identity, suspicion of its activities, aggression, and desire to eliminate its presence to secure a presumed purity. Xenophobia can also be exhibited in the form of an "uncritical exaltation of another culture" in which a culture is ascribed "an unreal, stereotyped and exotic quality". The terms xenophobia and racism are sometimes confused and used interchangeably because people who share a national origin may also belong to the same race. Due to this, xenophobia is usually distinguished by opposition to foreign culture. Xenophobia is a political term and not a recognized medical phobia.

  • ABSTRACT: This paper sets out to scrutinise the relation between levels of education on the one hand, and nationalist sentiment and xenophobia on the other. Using data from the International Social Survey Programme it empirically compares ten carefully chosen countries in order to be able to assess the relation between education and the attitudes expressed. The article concludes that the effect of levels of education is not country-specific. In other words, levels of nationalist sentiment as well as of xenophobia decrease with increasing levels of education in all the countries examined, despite substantial differences between the educational systems in the countries.
