Prejudice(Allport – 1954)1) An antipathy based on faulty and inflexible generalizations

2) Can be felt covertly or expressed overtly

3) Can be direct towards a group as a whole, or toward an individual because s/he is a member of that group

Four Theories ofPrejudice

Page 9: Hate, Stereotyping, & Prejudice

Exploitation Theory1) Power is a Scarce Source

2) People innately want to keep their power and status

3) So people suppress the social mobility of the out-group

Page 10: Hate, Stereotyping, & Prejudice

Scapegoating Theory1) Prejudiced People are the True Victims

2) They refuse to accept basic responsibility for some society failure (defeat in war / depression)

3) So they shift focus of responsibility to an out-group

Page 11: Hate, Stereotyping, & Prejudice

Authoritarian Personality Theory

1) Person comes from a strict authoritarian background2) When that person grows up s/he wants to be the authoritarian of those around them

3) So this person subjects people in an out-group (who are seen as weaker) to their will

Page 12: Hate, Stereotyping, & Prejudice

Structural Theory1) Social climate either promotes cultural and ethnic tolerance or intolerance

2) Is their obvious equality – if not people will subjugate others around them

3) Is there a definite hierarchy with a clear pecking order?

DEALINGWITH

PREJUDICE

Page 22: Hate, Stereotyping, & Prejudice

1) We must be honest with ourselves – confront our on biases and ethnocentric attitudes

2) We should question the contents of our stereotypes and check against our actual interactions with out-group members

3) We should understand how our negative images concerning out-group members affects our biased attitudes and interactions

Page 23: Hate, Stereotyping, & Prejudice

4) Use the principle of heterogeneity to break down the broad social categories

5) We should use mindful qualifying language when describing out-group/others’ behaviors.

6) We should put ourselves in frequent inter-group contact situations to become comfortable with group-based differences
