| Abstract: |
This article describes research findings on individual difference in stereotyping and shows how these findings have been and can he further applied to prejudice reduction efforts. A notable strength of this "new" generation of individual difference work is its dynamic nature--that individual differences can be both stable and malleable. The first section of this article reviews work showing that both adults and children differ in social-cognitive factors related to stereotyping, namely the way they process social information and their endorsement social ideologies. The second section describes intervention strategies that target these factors. In the final section, limitations and future directions of basic and applied research on individual differences and stereotyping are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
