Document Summary

1 introduction to the study of stereotyping & prejudice. Group members tend to favour their own groups (called ingroups) over other groups to which they do not belong (termed outgroups): ingroup: any group with which one affiliates themselves. Any group to which one belongs: outgroup: any group with which one does not affiliate themselves. Any group to which one does not belong. Stereotypes and prejudice can be a reflection of intergroup conflict; violence & hostility. Some of the most intense intergroup hostility has been based on a difference in religious beliefs. Intergroup hostility suggests that there is no rational basis for disliking other because they belong to another group (outgroups). All of history"s wars, battles and other acts of group violence have been driven by some form of prejudice, stereotyping, and/or discrimination. The word stereotype originally derives from a term to describe a printing process in which fixed casts of material are reproduced.
