Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research has shown that education about other groups can lead to reduced prejudice and discrimination. This can include learning about the history, culture, and experiences of other groups, as well as addressing common stereotypes and prejudices. However, decreasing contact between ingroup and outgroup members (choice A) can actually increase prejudice, as it allows for more reliance on stereotypes and less opportunity for positive interactions. Making values and norms against prejudice less conspicuous (choice B) may also have unintended consequences, such as reinforcing the idea that prejudice is acceptable or normal. Encouraging stereotype vulnerability (choice D) is not a strategy that has been found to effectively reduce prejudice and discrimination.
