Answer to Question 1

Answer:
Single people are routinely characterized more negatively than married people. Married people are much more likely to be considered kind or giving than are singles. Singles therefore put up with discrimination. The unusual thing about this is that single people appear unaware of the negativity directed against them, or even feel the negativity is warranted It is thought that negativity toward singles might be in the service of glorifying the institution of marriage.

Answer to Question 2

Answer:
Answers should include the following:
1) We have a positive view of our in-group(s).
2) If this positive view is threatened, the source is derogated (a) to preserve or enhance self-esteem, (b) to protect group interests, and/or (c) to maintain group position.
3) Competition for resources may engender prejudice. This type of prejudice can be overcome with a superordinate goal (one that requires cooperation between groups to achieve).
