Abstract
Abstract In this study we investigated the relationship between the anti-prejudice norm and the expression of attitudes towards minority groups. Participated 100 people who evaluated a list with 16 target groups of prejudice, answering two questions: indicate the groups that feel less prejudice; and which ones do you prefer. The results showed that there are different levels of prejudice depending on the target-group, with the women, blacks and people with disabilities being the most protected by the norm. A hierarchical analysis of clusters evidenced an organization of the groups, classified as naturalised, blamed, sexual and political minorities. The anti-prejudice norm and the attitudes presented a strong and positive relation (r = 0.65, p < 0.001). A multilevel logistic regression analysis showed that this relation was moderated by the type of group. These results contribute to the studies on the expression of prejudice, besides demonstrating the role of norms in the understanding of the phenomenon.

Descriptive statistical analyses were carried out, in order to answer the first question in the questionnaire, which corresponded to the first problem that was proposed: “Which minority social groups are most protected by the antiprejudice norm?”
In terms of social impacts, these findings show the need to construct a discourse that leads to a greater internalisation of the antiprejudice norm towards all minority social groups, since this can serve as an antidote for preventing the expression of negative attitudes that lead to the formation of prejudice against these groups
Summary
Resumo Neste estudo investigamos a relação entre a norma antipreconceito e a expressão de atitudes frente a grupos minoritários. Resumen En este estudio investigamos la relación entre la norma anti-prejuicio y la expresión de actitudes frente a grupos minoritarios. Los resultados demuestran que hay niveles diferentes de expresión del prejuicio según el tipo de grupo, siendo los grupos de mujeres, negros y personas con discapacidad los más protegidos por la norma. The social psychology of prejudice and discrimination has shown that this dissociation is motivated by pressure from the antiprejudice norm 2002; Gaertner & Dovidio, 1986) This norm is based on values of equality as a fundamental principle that should regulate social relations (Schwartz, 2015), and it is present in the legal and normative systems of many western countries.
