Emotions and Prejudice
We have all experienced a like or dislike for someone but were unable to give clear reasons. With that in mind, complete the following from the Motivation: Biological, Psychological, and Environmental text (Deckers, 2018):
- Describe what factors may have been involved.
- Discuss whether you think you can consciously change your dislike to like. If so, describe how this could be accomplished.
- Along the same line, discuss how people’s prejudices of others may be based on things of which they are not aware.
- Describe how this lack of awareness may contribute to the difficulty of trying to reduce people’s prejudices.
Remember to cite scholarly evidence to support your statements when appropriate, using current APA style and formatting.
Response Guidelines
