The discrimination-affection paradox reflects the findings that people

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The discrimination-affection paradox refers to the finding that people may hold more positive attitudes toward a social group (in this case, "women") than toward another social group ("men"), but members of the first group are still more likely to experience discrimination. This suggests that positive attitudes alone may not be enough to eliminate discrimination, and that there may be deeper societal or institutional factors at work. Option A is incorrect because it suggests that people hold equal positive attitudes toward both groups, which is not reflective of the discrimination-affection paradox. Option C is incorrect because it suggests that people hold more positive attitudes toward men, which is not in line with the paradox. Option D is incorrect because it suggests that people treat women and men similarly, which does not reflect the greater likelihood of discrimination experienced by women in the discrimination-affection paradox.
