Answer to Question 1

The textbook describes several general techniques for reducing prejudice in children. They include:
1) Encouraging friendly and constructive contact between children from different groups.
2) Having children work together toward a common goal in an equal status context.
3) Asking children to play different roles to encourage them to take the perspective of someone from a different group who has suffered prejudice or discrimination. This can encourage the development of empathy toward those in other groups.
4) The most important technique is educating children about differences between groups and the history of prejudice. Research finds that children exposed to such educational programs come to view peers from other groups more favorably.

Answer to Question 2
