Prejudice-Reduction Simulations: Social Cognition, Intergroup Theory, and Ethics

University of California, Santa Barbara

Howard Giles

University of California, Santa Barbara

Taking a social psychological perspective, the capacity for prejudice-reduction simulations to change prejudicial attitudes is examined using theoretical insights from social cognition and intergroup literatures. Ethical issues are considered by drawing on small group research, and it is argued that, at present anyway, the risks to participants may well outweigh any presumed benefits of simulation.

Key Words: social cognition • prejudice • stereotyping • ingroup • outgroup • intergroup • ethics
