Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

This course provides an overview of social psychological research on stereotypes (beliefs about members of social groups), prejudice (attitudes and evaluative responses toward members of social groups), and discrimination (behaviors directed toward individuals based on their group membership). We will explore both classic and contemporary work on the causes and consequences of stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination, and focus on how these processes shape the experiences of group members, especially those from underrepresented and/or marginalized groups.
