520 |a This article discusses the prediction of anti-Muslim attitudes in two undergraduate student populations: one in Western Canada, and the other in Northern Germany. The questionnaire data for this cross-sectional study was collected in 2013 (N = 1,800). In order to identify anti-Muslim attitude patterns, we carried out a hierarchical regression analysis testing university-specific connections in relation to socio-demographic factors were a weak predictor for anti-Muslim attitudes in all samples. For the german sample, prejudices against immigrants was the strongest predictor for anti-Muslim opinions, followed by gender stereotypes and violence accteptance against minorities. In the Canadian sample, we detected the prediction for anti-Muslim opinions by gender stereotypes, followed by prejudices against immigrants and violence acceptance against minorities. Adding up both survey samples, a little more than 20% of all students endorsed statements that express a strong bias against Muslim minority groups. Approximately 63% of the respondents partially agreed with the statements listed in our questionnaire. A surprisingly small percentage (1.9%) of participants disagreed strongly in response to survey items that expressed negative attitudes towards Muslims. Based on Scoton's and Elias' analysis of power dynamics in established-outsider relations, we identify social prejudice of students at the two universities as an expression of social control mechanisms (e.g. "praise and blame gossip"). The latter are colllectively contructed by the established ingroup in order to separate between "we-images" and "they-images" and, in doing so, apply pars pro toto stereotypes towards monority groups such as Muslims.
