Abstract. The present research aimed to replicate and extend findings by Murrar and Brauer (2018) , who demonstrated that an entertainment education intervention (a music video) effectively reduced US residents’ anti-Muslim prejudice. Using a German sample ( N = 203), we confirmed that watching the video significantly reduced recipients’ prejudice toward Muslims compared to a control condition and two alternative interventions. Unlike in Murrar and Brauer, however, the intervention’s advantageous effect was driven by recipients’ feelings of intergroup anxiety and perceptions of outgroup malleability rather than their identification with Muslims. Extending Murrar and Brauer’s findings, our results also suggest for whom entertainment education interventions may work best, namely for recipients high in right-wing authoritarianism. The findings’ theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

娱乐教育作为减少反穆斯林偏见的一种手段——它对谁最有效？

摘要。本研究旨在复制和扩展 Murrar 和 Brauer (2018) 的研究结果，他们证明娱乐教育干预（音乐视频）有效地减少了美国居民的反穆斯林偏见。使用德国样本 (N = 203)，我们证实，与对照条件和两种替代干预措施相比，观看视频显着降低了接受者对穆斯林的偏见。然而，与 Murrar 和 Brauer 不同的是，干预的有利效果是由接受者的群体间焦虑感和对外群体可塑性的看法而不是他们对穆斯林的认同所驱动的。扩展 Murrar 和 Brauer 的研究结果，我们的研究结果还表明，娱乐教育干预可能对谁最有效，即对于右翼威权主义程度高的接受者。
