The studies contained in this database evaluate interventions that aim to reduce some form of prejudice. To compile these studies, "...we used a definition of prejudice that would encompass standard usage by researchers working in this domain: Prejudice is animus, or negative bias, toward social groups and their putative members. To be selected, the studies also needed to research an intervention that in some way sought to reduce prejudice as a psychological predisposition or its expression in behavior or behavioral intentions" (Paluck, Porat, Clark, & Green, 2021). There are notable exceptions to our coverage: Studies on gender-based prejudice (with the exception of studies about prejudice toward transgender and genderqueer people) Intergroup bias not rooted in animus, e.g. political bias, inter-university rivalries. Studies that focus on the effects of prejudice on its targets. Studies whose outcomes are focused solely on policy outcomes. AuthorTitleTypeYear #ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ 507 Publications The acceptance of information into attitude structure Helen Peak, William Morrison 1958 This study examines the relation between attitude position and the acceptance of information. 169 college students served as Ss.

Attitudes… Acknowledging the Skeletons in Our Closet: Collective Guilt and Ingroup-Affirmation Gregory Gunn 2009 Just as people defend against threats to personal identity, they also defend against threats to social identity. In the context of intergroup transgression, the defensiveness against social identity threat has the effect of undermining collective guilt and its prosocial consequences. However, there may be ways for perpetrator groups to… Active search for information: The effects of subjectively experienced control on stereotyping Benoit Dardenne, Vincent Yzerbyt, Christine Grégoire 2000 Investigates the subjective experience of control and how this experience moderates the impact of sterotypic vs individuating information in social judgment. In the 1st section of this chapter, the authors review the literature on control. It is proposed that control might be conceived as a kind of subjective experience, that is, a cognitive… Age Discrimination in Hiring Practices: A Quantitative Analysis Catherine Pinkas 2018 Ageism, or discrimination based on assumptions about abilities and cognitive understanding based on a worker’s age, still prevails in the modern workplace, often disguised as business decisions, lack of advancement opportunities, and continuing mandatory retirement ages. Additionally, negative assumptions about younger workers also exist, some… Age-Based Hiring Discrimination as a Function of Equity Norms and Self-Perceived Objectivity Nicole Lindner, Alexander Graser, Brian Nosek, Aldo Rustichini 2014 Participants completed a questionnaire priming them to perceive themselves as either objective or biased, either before or after evaluating a young or old job applicant for a position linked to youthful stereotypes. Participants agreed that they were objective and tended to disagree that they were biased. Extending past research, both the… Alignment with globalized Western culture: Between inclusionary values and an exclusionary social identity Amir Rosenmann 2015 Reactions to globalized Western culture (GWC) are influential in shaping intergroup relations and social issues worldwide.

Whereas GWC's inclusive values may promote the civil liberties and fair treatment of gay people, for… Altering explicit and implicit racial prejudice towards African American males Veronica Glover 2010 Researchers tested 281 undergraduates to determine if positive behavior messages about African American males presented during a learning task affected scores on explicit and implicit racial prejudice measures. During the learning task, we manipulated how many positive messages the participant viewed (100 vs. 150 or none) and the amount of… American Pluralism: A Study of Minority Groups and Social Theory William Newman 1973 This book addresses some basic issues and topics in the sociology of majority-minority relationships and attempts to evaluate and reformulate the conceptual and theoretical tools of the field.

Italian school children took part in a school competition for the best essay on personal experiences of cross-group friendships with immigrants, to be written in small groups… Applying imagined contact to improve physiological responses in anticipation of intergroup interactions and the perceived quality of these interactions Keon West, Rhiannon Turner, Liat Levita 2015 This experiment (N = 49) is the first to show that imagined contact can buffer anticipatory physiological responses to future interactions, and improve the quality of these interactions.
