Psychology of Prejudice and Discrimination provides a comprehensive
and compelling overview of what psychological theory and research
have to say about the nature, causes, and reduction of prejudice
and discrimination. It balances a detailed discussion of theories
and selected research with applied examples that ensure the
material is relevant to students. Newly revised and updated, this
edition addresses several interlocking themes, such as research
methods, the development of prejudice in children, the relationship
between prejudice and discrimination, and discrimination in the
workplace, which are developed in greater detail than in other
textbooks. The first theme introduced is the nature of prejudice
and discrimination, which is followed by a discussion of research
methods. Next comes the psychological underpinnings of prejudice:
the nature of stereotypes, the conditions under which stereotypes
influence responses to other people, contemporary theories of
prejudice, and how values and belief systems are related to
prejudice. Explored next are the development of prejudice in
children and the social context of prejudice. The theme of
discrimination is developed via discussions of the nature of
discrimination, the experience of discrimination, and specific
forms of discrimination, including gender, sexual orientation, age,
ability, and appearance. The concluding theme is the reduction of
prejudice. An ideal core text for junior and senior college
students who have had a course in introductory psychology, it is
written in a style that is accessible to students in other fields
including education, social work, business, communication studies,
ethnic studies, and other disciplines. In addition to courses on
prejudice and discrimination, this book is also adapted for courses
that cover topics in racism and diversity. For instructor
resources, consult the companion website
(http://www.routledge.com/cw/Kite), which includes an Instructor
Manual that contains activities and tools to help with teaching a
prejudice and discrimination course; PowerPoint slides for every
chapter; and a Test Bank with exam questions for every chapter for
a total of over 1,700 questions.
