prejudice studies

Prejudice studies explore how biases—unfair negative judgments—develop and influence behavior toward different groups based on characteristics like race, gender, or religion. Researchers examine factors such as societal norms, stereotypes, and personal experiences that contribute to prejudice. These studies use experiments, surveys, and observations to understand why prejudice exists and how it can be reduced. Understanding these processes helps promote fairness and social harmony by identifying ways to challenge and change prejudiced attitudes and behaviors.
