Description
This book turns the tables on the way prejudice has been looked at in the past. Almost all of the current information on prejudice focuses
on the person holding prejudiced beliefs. This book, however, provides the first summary of research focusing on the intended victims
of prejudice. Divided into three sections, the first part discusses how people identify prejudice, what types of prejudice they encounter,
and how people react to this prejudice in interpersonal and intergroup settings. The second section discusses the effect of prejudice
on task performance, assessment of ones own abilities, self-esteem, and stress. The final section examines how people cope with prejudice,
including a discussion of coping mechanisms, reporting sexual harassment, and how identity is related to effective coping.
Audience
Academic researchers and students in social psychology and sociology; counseling psychologists.
