Rosales Mona Navarro Psicología attitudes immigrants voting behavior personal efficacy This study tests a model linking attitudes towards immigrants with personal efficacy and voting behavior onproposition 187 (an endorsement of an anti-immigrant ballot initiative in California). Using a sample of 218White and Latino university student results indicated that whites endorsed greater negative attitudes towardsimmigrants (on the Attitudes Towards Immigrants Scale) as compared to Latinos. In addition, Latinos weremore internal in their personal efficacy (on the Spheres of Control Scale) when compared to Whites. Consistentwith research drawn from a subset of attribution theory, we also found that for Whites, greater internal personalefficacy was associated with more negative attitudes towards immigrants. Also supporting a subset of researchin attribution theory, for Whites, greater internal personal efficacy was associated with support for proposition187. For both Whites and Latinos, those who held more negative attitudes towards immigrants were more likelyto report having voted for proposition 187. For Latinos, no relationships were found between personal efficacyand neither attitudes towards immigrants nor voting behavior.
