Why are people prejudiced? Not surprisingly,
theories of prejudice have tended to focus on
the more extreme forms of prejudice, in
particular when there is aggression and violence.
At the turn of the last century, it was popular
to consider prejudice to be an innate and
instinctive reaction to certain categories of
person (e.g certain races) much as animals would
react in instinctive ways to one another. This
sport of approach is no longer popular, as it
doesn't stand up well to scientific scrutiny
However there may be an innate component to
prejudice. There is some evidence that higher
anirnals, including humans, haye an inherent
fear of the unfamilier and unusual, which might
set the' mould for negative attitudes towards
groups that are considered different in certain
ways. There is also evidence for a mere exposure
effect, in which, people's attitudes towards
various stimuli (e.g. other people) ,lmprove as
a direct function of repeated. exposure ör
familiarity with the stimulus, provided, that
initial reactions to the stimuli are not
negâtive. Another perspective rests on the
belief that prejudices are leamed Indeed, it has
been argued that hatre and suspicion of certain
groups are learned.early in life, before.the
child even knows anything about the target group
