<p>The processes taking place in society require strengthening the interaction of people belonging to different social groups. However, there are frequent cases of manifestations of prejudice, prejudice, including lukism, sexism, ageism, xenophobia and other types of discriminatory attitudes that undermine productive interactions at different levels. Everyday stressors can act as a trigger for discriminatory behavior towards representatives of out-groups. The purpose of this study is to analyze everyday stressors and social frustrators as predictors of a general discriminatory attitude. Hypothesis - stressors and affects are stronger predictors of the emotional and behavioral components of discriminatory attitudes. The study involved 700 people of both sexes (men — 322 (46%), women — 376 (54%) aged M=22.43 SD=8.23. The method of components of a general discriminatory attitude was used (R.M. Shamionov, V.K. Abutalipova, 2024), a questionnaire of everyday stressors (M.D. Petrash, O.Yu. Strizhitskaya, L.A. Golovey, S.S. Savenysheva), a questionnaire on the level of social frustration, developed by (L.I. Wasserman, B.V. Iovlev, M.A. Berebin). Results. As a result of regression analysis, it was found that from 5 to 17% of the variance of the components of the discriminatory attitude is due to stressors and from 4 to 15% to affects. A common predictor of all components of a discriminatory attitude is the stressor "tense and conflicted relationships". Negative affects are unconditional predictors of the emotional and behavioral components of a discriminatory attitude.</p>
