Abstract
The body of research on prejudice is one of the largest in psychology. Research on prejudice has flourished from the very start of the discipline, which has resulted in a wide range of theories, measurement tools, and approaches to the reduction of prejudice. Across these many different studies, prejudice is commonly understood to mean a negative bias toward a social category of people, with cognitive, affective, motivational, and behavioral components.
