We will start by examining the basic cognitive processes that make stereotyping a functional aspect of everyday cognition, and then we will turn toward examining emotional, motivational, and personality differences that affect one's level of prejudice. Finally, we will study the role of social forces in transmitting prejudice (parents, schools, religion, media) and the impact of societal prejudice (discrimination) on those who are the targets of prejudice.
