Evaluate Biological, Psychodynamic And Interpersonal Theories Of The Origins Of Prejudice And Critically Examine Ways In Which It May Be Reduced Prejudice can be defined as a learned, preformed, and unsubstantiated judgement or opinion about an individual or a group, either favourable or unfavourable in nature. In modern usage, however, the term most often denotes an unfavourable or hostile attitude towards other people based on their membership of another social or ethnic group. The distinguishing characteristic of a prejudice is that it relies on stereotypes about the group against which the prejudice is directed. It includes such phenomena as racism, sexism, and ageism. There are many causes of prejudice. It can be argued that there are two main categories to which most of these causes belong. Firstly prejudice may depend on the personality or other characteristic of an individual who is prejudiced. Secondly environmental or cultural factors may produce prejudice, for example
