Q Prejudice is an attitude toward a group that leads people to evaluate members of that group negatively—even though they have never met them. On a cognitive level, prejudice is linked to expectations that members of the target group will behave poorly. On an emotional level, prejudice is associated with negative feelings such as fear, dislike, or hatred. In behavioral terms, prejudice is connected with avoidance, aggression, and discrimination. Discrimination refers to behavior that results from prejudice. One thing that contributes to discrimination is the extent to which people view themselves as members of a particular group, their "ingroup", and who they view as not being in their group, the "outgroup". Read the article: The Psychology of Prejudice: Ingroup Love or Outgroup Hate Download The Psychology of Prejudice: Ingroup Love or Outgroup Hate(Brewer, 1999). In a 250-300 word reply, explain the author's position and comment on at least two other student's replies in 75-100 words.

This article was really long and has a lot of information on it. One thing I found interesting in this article is when it talks about an out group is any group that you don't belong to, while an in group is a group that you associate yourself with. One basis for stereotypes is the tendency to see other members of an out group as similar and members of your in group as different from each other (called in group heterogeneity). The researchers found that both cross-cultural research and laboratory experiments support the other view that in group identification is free of negative attitudes toward out groups and that much in group bias and intergroup discrimination is motivated by preferred treatment of in group members rather than direct bitterness toward out group members.
