Psychological research on the origins and consequences of
prejudice, discrimination, and stereotyping has moved into
previously uncharted directions through the introduction of
neuroscientific measures. Psychologists can now address issues that
are difficult to examine with traditional methodologies and monitor
motivational and emotional as they develop during ongoing
intergroup interactions, thus enabling the empirical investigation
of the fundamental biological bases of prejudice. However, several
very promising strands of research have largely developed
independently of each other. By bringing together the work of
leading prejudice researchers from across the world who have begun
to study this field with different neuroscientific tools, this
volume provides the first integrated view on the specific drawbacks
and benefits of each type of measure, illuminates how standard
paradigms in research on prejudice and intergroup relations can be
adapted for the use of neuroscientific methods, and illustrates how
different methodologies can complement each other and be combined
to advance current insights into the nature of prejudice. This
cutting-edge volume will be of interest to advanced undergraduates,
graduates, and researchers students who study prejudice, intergroup
relations, and social neuroscience.

Public debates tend to see social inequality as resulting from
individual decisions people make, for instance with respect to
their education or lifestyle. Solutions are often sought in
supporting individuals to make better choices. This neglects the
importance of social groups and communities in determining
individual outcomes. A moral perspective on social inequality
questions the fairness of insisting on individual responsibilities,
when members of some groups systematically receive fewer
opportunities than others. The essays in this book have been
prepared by experts from different disciplines, ranging from
philosophy to engineering, and from economics to epidemiology. On
the basis of recent scientific insights, World of Difference
examines how group memberships impact on individual outcomes in
four key domains: health, education and work, migration, and the
environment. This offers a new moral perspective on social
inequality, which policy makers tend to neglect.
