Summary/Abstract: Mihály Csákó (Anti out-group feeling at the schooling age) analyses sets of data relating to ethnic and national intolerance among adolescents. Only one third of the sample can be considered fully tolerant, while a high level of intolerance is found against Gypsies, Jews and Romanians. Such attitudes are deeply embedded in Hungarian historical tradition, and no other group of nations emerges as a target of resentment in the same way. Attitudes are not inherited biologically; of course, they are developed by the operations of agencies of socialisation – such as family, school, and media. The strongest individual variable in this exposé is the type of school frequented by the young people in question. Gender and the cultural capital of the family may also contribute to variations. Further studies are needed for a deeper exploration of the issue.
