Description

Focusing on the fundamentals of how and why people discriminate against others in everyday life, this integrative volume examines common prejudicial behaviors including derision, exclusion, and ignoring of others based on their membership in a given group or groups. Incorporating existing theory and empirical research in each area with their own findings, the authors make a vital contribution to social psychology.
