Abstract Examines the short-term effect of an event particularly relevant (a major terrorist attack) on the attitudes of 96 English adolescents from the province of Cadiz for three social groups: Moroccans, Muslims and immigrants. These groups show a remarkable overlap, but can not be objectively identified with one another. Questionnaires were applied on two occasions: during a period without significant events that would affect the group in question, and a few days after a major terrorist attacks blamed on Muslim fundamentalists. Responses cognitive, behavioral and emotional to the three groups were very similar before and after the attacks, and changed in the negative after them.
Keywords: stereotypes, attitudes, prejudice, immigration, racism.


Abstract This Study examined the short-term effect of a major event (Terrorist Attacks) on the Attitudes of 96 English adolescents Who live in the English province of Cadiz Towards three social groups: Moroccans, Moslems and Immigrants. These groups present a remarkable overlapping, but can not be objectively identified with each other. The questionnaires were administered two times: during a period without relevant incidents related to any of the target groups, and a few days after a big terrorist attack which was attributed to Moslem reactionaries. Adolescents' cognitive, behavioral and affective responses towards the three groups were similar, both before and after the attacks, and changed in a negative direction after the attacks.
Key words: stereotypes, attitudes, prejudices, immigration, racism.
