It compares this approach to the Robber's Cave experiment and discusses the dynamics within a jigsaw class project. Additionally, it examines the impact of educational initiatives, like Jane Elliott’s diversity training, and the motivation behind combating prejudice. The difference between the desire to eliminate prejudice and the desire to appear unbiased is highlighted, alongside research on automatic and controlled stereotype processing.
