Key Concepts

Prejudice

Prejudice is a preconceived, often unfavorable, attitude towards a group or its members that is not based on reason or actual experience. It involves general judgments formed about individuals solely because of their membership in a particular social group, rather than on individual merit or behavior.

Attitudes

Attitudes are evaluative tendencies expressed through feelings, beliefs, and actions towards people or groups. In the context of prejudice, these attitudes are negative and are directed toward entire groups, reflecting deep-seated biases that influence behavior and social interactions.

Social Group Membership

Social group membership refers to the categorization of individuals based on common characteristics such as race, gender, ethnicity, or other identifying traits. Prejudice often arises when individuals evaluate others solely based on their membership in these groups, leading to generalized and biased assessments that overlook individual differences.
