Document Summary
Modern racism: norms have changed over time, people are conflicted between what they truly think and feel and what they think they should think and feel or what to say publicly. Whether they act in a prejudiced way depends on the situation. Benevolent racism and sexism: ambivalent racist attitudes are resistant to change, benevolent racism can inhibit progress toward equality. Boys who were athletically gifted or who were more aggressive were more popular. Simple contact between the group sled to more insults noncompetitive contact did not reduce friction. Hostility was reduced just by a joint pursuit of a common goal: superordinate goals: a goal that transcends the interests of any one group and can be achieved more readily by two or more groups working together. Outgroup conflict male leader preferred: evaluating this perspective makes sense, conditions in the classroom are different on a battlefield, students sometimes segregate themselves, there is success in integration methods.
