Document Summary

Prejudice a negative attitude toward members of a group, which is often very strongly held. Discrimination negative, harmful behaviour toward people based on their group membership. Genocide an attempt to systematically eliminate an ethnic group through banishment or murder. Aversive racism a modern kind of racism, those who believe they are not discriminatory or prejudice to minority groups but still harbor underlying prejudice toward members of minority groups. An aversive racist can find prejudice upsetting but can become discriminatory/racist towards a minority group when the situation calls for it and thus feels justified . Dovideio and gaertner (2000) released a study on explicit prejudice and prejudice that is masked by a circumstance in 1989 and 1999. Hypothesized that explicit prejudice would be greater in 1989 than in 1999 but there would be little change in discriminatory behaviour when circumstances provided an excuse in the 10 year gap.
