PSY 5047: Stereotypes, Prejudice & Discrimination (3 cr.)

Social psychologists have long been interested in

stereotyping and prejudice because these concepts

are representative of the most central topics in

social psychology such as social perception,

self-and social-identity, attitude formation,

social norms, intergroup behavior, relationships,

and aggression. This course will provide an

intellectual forum for discussing the research

that has contributed to our understanding of

stereotyping, prejudice, and discrimination.

Students will explore such topics as the origins

of stereotypes and prejudice, the implicit nature

of stereotypes, stereotype activation and

application, contemporary forms of prejudice, the

social context of prejudice, children and

prejudice, racial and sexual discrimination,

coping and managing stigma, interracial

interactions, and methods for reducing prejudice

and discrimination. Prerequisite: PSY 2009: Social Psychology or

PSY 2063: Social Influence & Persuasion.
