Prejudice, Stereotypes, and Discrimination
In many cases, prejudice stems from the unknown. As
individuals, we tend to migrate toward those who may look like
us, act like us, and think like us. As a result, it may be difficult
for us to open our minds and embrace those whose values,
beliefs, and overall sense of self differ from our own.
For this assignment, compose a paper that is three to four pages
in length. In your paper, discuss the impacts of prejudice,
stereotypes, and discrimination in the context of social
psychology. Be sure to address the following points:
1. Define and describe the following terms: prejudice,
stereotype, discrimination, and ingroup vs. outgroup. Based on
your own experiences in the social world, can you relate to any
of these terms? Do you identify with a particular term? Why or
why not?
2. Examine the social, cognitive, and societal origins of
prejudice and stereotypes. Be sure to include specific
information regarding categorization, such as ingroup
favoritism and the outgroup homogeneity effect, norms,
competition for resources, and social inequalities. Of the
categories presented, which do you think are the most
significant in our society and in your particular community?
3. Analyze the influences that promote stereotyping, and offer
strategies to reduce prejudice. What are the consequences of
stereotyping and discrimination? Who does this behavior hurt,
and in what ways does it hurt them? Are we inadvertently
creating self-fulfilling prophecies in our society? If so, how can
we take steps to improve attitudes, judgments, and behaviors?
Your paper must include an introduction, a thesis statement, and
a conclusion. Your completed assignment should be three to
four pages in length (excluding title and reference pages),
include a minimum of three references, and follow APA
guidelines as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
