There has been a lot of research done on ways to reduce prejudice against minority groups. In order to reduce prejudice, we must support diversity. There are two different perspectives when view diversity. There is prevention focus and promotion focus (p.368).

Parents play a big part in how their children see race.

293) Stereotype replacement is when you replace stereotypic responses are replaced with non stereotypic responses (p.293). Counter-Stereotypic imaging is imaging in detail counter-stereotypic other people (p.293). Individuation is when you obtain specific information about group members to prevent from drawing stereotypic inferences about them (p. 293). Perspective taking is when you adopt the perspective of a person who is a member of a minority group (p. 291). Lastly, increasing opportunities is when you seek opportunities to encounter or engage in positive interactions with an out group (p.
