The role of education on opinions toward affirmative action targeted at women in Albania

Résumé

This chapter examines the role of education on opinions toward af-firmative action that help women in Albania. A survey study (N = 173) showed that participants respond more favourably to weak preferential treatment than to strong preferential treatment. They further revealed that highly edu-cated people were less favourable than lesser educated people toward affirm-ative action plans, and openly unfavourable toward strong preferential action plans. Meritocratic beliefs mediated the education effect on support for strong preferential treatment, but not for weak preferential treatment. Theoretical implications of these findings are discussed.
