Conducted a 2-stage study in France on the modification of stereotypes of Arabs and Muslims. In Stage 1, a questionnaire was administered to 722 Ss. The effect of objective information about Muslims throughout the world (representation of various ethnic and national origins) on the modification of the stereotypes was assessed 4 wks later. 315 Ss (experimental group) read about Arabs and Muslims, and their knowledge was tested. 315 other Ss (control group) did not receive any educational information. All 630 Ss were administered a questionnaire. The results indicate that stereotypes of Arabs and Muslims remained stable for control Ss, but the stereotype of Muslims underwent several changes for experimental Ss.
