Factors Influencing Minority Group Acceptance: Evidence From the 2021–2022 Korean National Human Rights Survey

Using data from the 2021–2022 Korean National Human Rights Survey ( N = 33,741), this study examines how demographic, ideological, religious, and educational factors shape acceptance of six minority groups in South Korea. Logistic regression analyses show that women, individuals with higher education and income, and those exposed to human rights education are significantly more likely to express full acceptance (“not uncomfortable at all”). Older age is consistently associated with lower acceptance, while political conservatism generally predicts lower acceptance, except for refugees. Protestant affiliation shows modest, group‐specific effects. Overall, the findings highlight the role of structural resources and experiential learning in fostering inclusive attitudes, while revealing generational and ideological divides. These results suggest that expanding human rights education may be an effective strategy to promote social inclusion in contemporary South Korea.
