	Prejudice - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This is different from viewpoints accumulated though direct life experience, which are neither prejudiced, conditioned or necessarily instinctive: they are not pre-judgments but post-judgments.
		Some argue that all politically-based views stem from a lack of sufficient life experience; this, however, provokes the question of how much life experience is required before a point of view is no longer regarded as prejudiced.
		The prejudiced adult might even be shocked to hear a slew of racial slurs and their own half-cocked opinions on various groups echoed back at them from their children.

	Breaking the Prejudice Habit
		Thus, the change from being prejudiced to nonprejudiced is not viewed as an all or none event, but as a process during which the low&endash;prejudiced person is especially vulnerable to conflict between his or her enduring negative responses and endorsed nonprejudiced beliefs.
		Specifically, we have focused on the challenges faced by those individuals who have internalized nonprejudiced personal standards and are trying to control their prejudiced responses, but sometimes fail.
		We have shown that people high and low in prejudice (as assessed by a self&endash;report technique) have qualitatively different affective reactions to the conflict between their verbal reports concerning how they should respond in situations involving contact with members of stereotyped groups and how they say they actually would respond.

	Kaleidoscope - Sharp Page 3
		Because the PSA led low-prejudiced participants to react in a seemingly prejudiced manner, which violated their personal values and threatened the way in which they viewed themselves, they felt guilty because they did not react the way that they believed they should have.
		Similarly, guilt reported by participants highly concerned with acting prejudiced was attributed to them being disappointed in not living up to society's egalitarian values, rather than disappointment in not acting according to their personal standards, as with the previous group of low-prejudiced participants.
		We were interested in the effect that absolute, highly salient opinions, given by well known figures, either highly prejudiced or non-prejudiced, would have on participants' expressions of racism, participants' opinions of the given individual, and participants' affect (emotional state).

	The Public Eye : Website of Political Research Associates
		Some persons who are prejudiced (and a few who hold ideological or supremacist views) still refuse to engage in discrimination as a matter of principle.
		Many bias-motivated attacks are carried out by persons with no direct ties to ideological, supremacist, or hate groups, but who have internalized ideas common in the culture or ideas being circulated in the community under stress in which they live.
		Prejudiced persons often do not have a coherent ideological basis for their beliefs, while persons with coherent ideological or supremacist views can be defending their power and privilege without having prejudged the group they seek to oppress.

	Older people are more prejudiced -- and they can't help it
		Other tests the participants took as part of the experiment showed that older adults showed a strong desire not to be prejudiced and that they did care about the kind of impression other people had of them.
		Von Hippel emphasized that while adults tend to lose some of their inhibitory ability as they age, this ability is not just a function of age -- there are individual differences across all age levels.
		For example, the researchers did a separate analysis of just the younger people in the study and found that those who showed poorer inhibitory ability were more likely to be prejudiced than those who had better inhibitory ability.

		First, rather than assuming that people are unaware of or unwilling to admit to their prejudiced responses, our research underscores the insight people frequently have with respect to their biases.
		The second unique contribution of this program of research is that, in contrast to the assumption that automatically activated biases cannot be controlled, we have developed and tested a theory for understanding how people can overcome subtle forms of bias.
		Specifically, the aim of this theory is to identify that mechanisms involved in deautomatizing the processes that frequently give rise to prejudiced responses.

	Understanding Prejudice
		First, it is easily defensible through the understanding of the dynamics of prejudices; and second, the continued separation and classification of prejudices according to the superficial categories of those who are prejudiced is a disservice to those who are the targets of discrimination and a distortion of reality.
		It also appears that the training methods that are the most effective in reducing the unintentional prejudical response will increase the strength of prejudicial behavior from those who are intentionally prejudiced.
		Remarks of this type will allow the people who are not intentionally prejudiced to talk about their own experience and will bring them to greater awareness.
