Research on Prejudice

Research on prejudice investigates the attitudes and beliefs that unfairly favor or dislike certain groups based on characteristics like race, gender, or ethnicity. It explores how these biases develop, how they influence behavior, and ways to reduce them. Understanding prejudice helps identify societal and psychological factors that contribute to discrimination, aiming to promote fairer treatment and social harmony. This research combines studies from psychology, sociology, and other fields to better understand the roots of bias and find effective strategies for fostering inclusivity and equity.
