Key Concepts

Implicit Prejudice

Implicit prejudice refers to the unconscious, automatic feelings and biases toward people from certain groups. These prejudices are not under conscious control and are deeply rooted in emotional responses, making them resistant to change even when individuals intellectually reject overt discriminatory beliefs.

Explicit Prejudice

Explicit prejudice involves the conscious, deliberate negative attitudes and beliefs individuals hold about groups. Unlike implicit prejudice, explicit prejudice can be directly confronted and altered through reasoning, evidence, and social pressure, as these attitudes are consciously endorsed and expressed.

Emotion versus Cognition in Prejudice

This concept examines the distinct roles of emotional responses and rational thought in the formation and maintenance of prejudiced attitudes. While logical arguments and intellectual debate can often diminish or change explicit, conscious prejudices, the underlying emotional components of bias persist, influencing behavior and judgment even when the overt beliefs are challenged.
