| Question | Answer |
| What is the definition of prejudice? | Derogatory attitudes or beliefs, the expression of negative affect or the display of hostile or discriminatory behaviour toward members of a group on because they are members of that group. |
| What is prejudice? | If you think any man or women, Maori or Pakistani is bad or good that is prejudice because you are treating them in a different way because of the group they are part of. |
| Sexism | Gods fault, if he didn't make two groups there wouldn't be prejudice. |
| Even people who are exceptionally intelligent can also have prejudice. | - |
| Why are people prejudiced? | Because of the media. We learn prejudice personalities is what explains prejudice. Certain people are prejudice and certain people aren't. - Adorno et al. (1950). |
| How can large amounts of people be affected by Nazi propaganda? | Certain personality types that are susceptible to fascist propaganda. A personality type that tends to be nasty to people to below them but treat those on a higher par well. |
| Authoritarians tend to see things in a black and white way, you are either good or bad. Gay people, communists, members of ethnic minorities tend to be derogated by authoritarians. | People who are authoritarians tend to bow down to authority but are mean and nasty to people with less power. |
| Where did authoritarian behaviour come from according to Adorno (1950). | Derived from childhood. Child may get angry at parent but represses anger toward parent, this anger must eventually come out. You can be nasty to be people with less power but not with power. |
| What is Realistic Conflict Theory (RCT)? | Another explanation towards the act of prejudice. Prejudice comes from outside and is reflected into us. This is because the interests of our group conflicts with the interests of another group. E.g. if your group is competing prejudice increases but when groups are't competing prejudice drops. |
| Sheriff's experiment in regards to prejudice. | Took boys away, divided them into 2 groups and kept the groups apart from each other. Groups developed group hierarchies. The 2 groups competed with one another, if one group won the other group lost (competing for scarce resources). First week = fine Second week (when competition began) boys started calling opposing group members names and started to dislike them. |
| Sheriff's experiment can be linked to getting a job, raise in salary, when competition is involved people tend to get nasty and people start to show prejudice over the individual or group you are competing with. Your prejudice is a reflection of your groups prejudice, if your group isn't getting what they want prejudice arises. | - |
| Can prejudice arise when there is no conflict? | MINIMAL GROUP PARADIGM . a scientific attempt to create an 'empty environment’ where researchers could then systematically add variables that would elicit discrimination (MGP). |
| What did the MINIMAL GROUP PARADIGM (MGP) study find out? Tajfel, et al., (1971) | All you have to do is be split up into two groups for prejudice to emerge. |
| Social Identity Theory Tajfel and Turner (1986). | According to the social identity theory an important part of who we are is bound up in the groups that we belong to. E.g. men and women. We often compare ourselves to other groups and put our groups above other groups which boosts our self esteem if we do the opposite, put the other group above the group we are part of, our self esteem will drop. |
