Answer to Question 1

Answer: First, from a social-psychological perspective, the attitude should be a negative attitude. Whatever the specific prejudiced attitude provided, a complete response should refer to the affective component, which reflects a negative evaluation of the group or individual (e.g., fear, hostility, mistrust). The cognitive component should reflect a stereotype about the individual and his or her group; this stereotype should reflect some characteristic assigned to all members of the target's group (e.g., laziness, low achievement motivation, dependence, violence, greed, and so on). The behavioral component reflects discrimination, or negative or harmful actions directed at members of the target's group; discrimination can be subtle or obvious (e.g., interrupting the target more than others, refusing to talk to him or her, acts of vandalism against the target).
