The attitudes of Canadians toward multiculturalism were investigated in this study. Four attitude domains were examined. The first dealt with the attitudes held by Canadians toward a variety of ethnic groups in the country. The second involved general beliefs regarding cultural diversity. The third consisted of attitudes toward immigration. The fourth domain included the psychological phenomenon of prejudice and discrimination. Two questions constituted the core of the present study: whether Canadians view cultural diversity as a valuable resource, and whether confidence in one's own identity is a preprequisite for accepting others. The results for each of the four attitude domains in the total sample are presented first, and the major trends that emerge across the four domains are described. Respondents in the study showed a reasonably high level of overtolerance for ethnic diversity and a general acceptance for multiculturalism as a social fact. The study also revealed a considerable lack of knowledge concerning multiculturalism as government policy. (Author/AM)
