Prejudice refers to a negative attitude held against individuals based on their group identity, distinct from discrimination and stereotypes. Understanding its development is crucial; factors include authoritarian personality traits, ethnocentrism, early childhood experiences, and communication methods. Techniques such as equal-status contact and cooperative learning environments, like the Jigsaw classroom, can effectively reduce prejudice. Recognizing and addressing these attitudes is essential for fostering inclusivity and promoting social harmony.
