Abstract

This study explores individual and situational predictors of homeless stigmatisation. The aim was to test if individual differences in Belief in a Just World (BJW) and Social Dominance Orientation (SDO) moderate the effect of quantity and quality of contact on stigmatisation of the homeless. 187 participants completed measures of BJW, SDO, quality and quantity of contact as well as a measure of homeless stigmatisation. Results showed that BJW and SDO correlated positively with stigmatization, while both quantity and quality of contact were negatively corelated with stigmatisation. SDO was found to moderate the relationship between quantity of contact and stigmatisation; more contact with the homeless was related to lower stigmatisation for participants with low and moderate SDO scores but not those with high SDO. BJW did not moderate the relationship between contact and stigmatization. Implications regarding the interaction between SDO and contact are discussed.
