Prejudices and stereotypes against members of other groups are more likely to emerge

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When groups compete against each other, there is a tendency for members to see their own group as superior and the other group as inferior, leading to prejudiced beliefs and stereotypical thinking. This is known as intergroup competition theory. Cooperating towards achieving a common goal, on the other hand, can reduce biases and stereotypes by promoting positive attitudes and intergroup relations. Social dominance orientation and personal success do not necessarily predict or influence the emergence of prejudices and stereotypes.
