| Sumario: | A study was conducted to examine the relationship among relative deprivation, which arises from a subjective feeling of discontent based on the belief that one is getting less than one feels entitled to, ethnic identification, and racial attitudes among whites and blacks on the eve of South Africa's first democratic and multiracial elections in April 1994. Relative deprivation was measured in terms of participants' social, financial, political, and work situation. The findings revealed that the strongest predictors of white attitudes toward blacks were work-related deprivation and ethnic identification and that other predictors were gender and educational qualifications. It was found that black attitudes toward whites were affected by political and social relative deprivation, attitudes toward the in-group, income, and gender.
