THE PSYCHOLOGY OF PREJUDICE

Course overview

Based on the book The Psychology of Prejudice (third edition) by Todd D. Nelson, PhD and Michael A, Olson, PhD. Awards 16 credits upon successful completion of the 111 multiple choice test questions. This program addresses core questions about prejudice and stereotyping -- their causes, consequences, and how to reduce them. Participants will learn about social-psychological theories and research to life with compelling everyday examples; the personal and societal impacts of different forms of prejudice; the cognitive, emotional, motivational, contextual, and personality processes that make stereotyping and prejudice more (or less) likely to occur; and anti-bias interventions along with the evidence for their effectiveness.
