Confronting Prejudice and Discrimination: The Science of Changing Minds and Behaviors focuses on confrontation as a strategy for reducing bias and discrimination. The volume tackles questions that people face when they wish to confront bias: What factors influence people´s decisions to confront or ignore bias in its various forms? What are the motives and consequences of confrontation? How can confrontation be approached individually, through education and empowerment, and in specific contexts (e.g., health care) to yield favourable outcomes? These questions are paramount in contemporary society, where confrontation of bias is increasingly evident. Moreover, great strides in the scientific study of confrontation in the past 20 years has yielded valuable insights and answers. This volume is an essential resource for students and researchers with an interest in prejudice and prejudice reduction, and will also be valuable to non-academics who wish to stand up to bias through confrontation.mehr

Kritik

"This exceptional edited book brings together insights from leading researchers to explore how, when, and why people may or may not confront expressions of prejudice and acts of discrimination. Written in a clear and accessible manner, the chapters in this volume distill hundreds of research studies to guide our understanding of the motivations and consequences of confrontation. The themes covered in this edited book are all the more important for us to reflect on, given the polarization of social and political attitudes and the proliferation of hate speech and hate crimes in our world today." --Linda R. Tropp, Ph.D., Professor, Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences Faculty Associate, University of Massachusetts Amherstmehr
