Estimating error Refer to Theorem 7.2 and let f(x) = sin

Chapter 13:  The ABC of Prejudice involves three components: o Affective Component (emotional component), referred to as prejudice o Behavioral Component (actions), referred to as discrimination o Cognitive Component (thinking). referred to as stereotyping  Prejudice is an emotional reaction to a group, hostile or negative attitude toward people in a distinguishable group, based solely on their membership in that group  The behavioral component is the unjustified negative or harmful action toward members of a group simply because of their membership in that group  The cognitive component is a generalization about a group of people in which identical characteristics are assigned to virtually all members of the group, regardless of actual variation among the members  We can measure prejudice two ways: o Explicit Measures: involve directly (explicitly) asking people about their beliefs (self­report measures) o Implicit Measures: involve finding an indirect way to measure people’s beliefs (e.g., implicit association test; IAT)  The Ultimate Attribution Error (UAE) people attribute a group’s behavior to internal factors and overlook situational explanations  The Social Identity Theory is when people strive to enhance their self­esteem partly through their social identities: o In­group: group we belong to o Out­group: group we do not belong to  Relative Conflict Theory
