Xenophobia is the fear of that which is perceived to be foreign or strange.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Xenophobia - Define Xenophobia at Dictionary.com )〕 Xenophobia can manifest itself in many ways involving the relations and perceptions of an ingroup towards an outgroup, including a fear of losing identity, suspicion of its activities, aggression, and desire to eliminate its presence to secure a presumed purity.〔Guido Bolaffi. ''Dictionary of race, ethnicity and culture''. SAGE Publications Ltd., 2003. Pp. 332.〕 Xenophobia can also be exhibited in the form of an "uncritical exaltation of another culture" in which a culture is ascribed "an unreal, stereotyped and exotic quality".〔 ==Definitions== Dictionary definitions of ''xenophobia'' include: "deep-rooted, fear towards foreigners" (Oxford English Dictionary; OED), and "fear of the unfamiliar" (Webster's).〔Webster's New Universal Unabridged Dictionary, Dorset and Baber, Simon and Schuster〕 The word comes from the Greek words ξένος (''xenos''), meaning "strange", "foreigner", and φόβος (''phobos''), meaning "fear".〔Oxford Standard English Dictionary' (OED). Oxford Press, 2004, CDROM version.〕 ==See also== * Afrophobia * Chauvinism * Ethnocentrism * Eurocentrism * European Commission against Racism and Intolerance * List of anti-cultural, anti-national, and anti-ethnic terms * List of phobias * Opposition to immigration * Racism * Überfremdung * Xenocentrism * Xenophilia * Xenophobia in South Africa 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Xenophobia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
