In this study attributions for unemployment as a function of voting pattern and religious affiliation were examined. The attributions were provided by employed high-level managers, professionals, and executives. The five target groups of unemployed were South Africans in general, black and white working class, and black and white middle class. The results showed that voting pattern and religious affiliation influenced attributions for unemployment in the different target groups. The results are discussed in terms of intergroup relations and suggestions for future research are provided. S. Afr. J. Sociol. 1985, 16(4): 128–133
