Minimal Group Paradigm
- Tajfel's minimal group paradigm reveals that people form groups over trivial shared identifiers.
- This grouping leads to biased reasoning and favoring the in-group, even if it means less overall benefit.
Contact Hypothesis
- Allport's contact hypothesis suggests that prejudice reduces when different groups interact positively and regularly.
- Key conditions include equal status, common goals, cooperation, informal interactions, and addressing concerns of the oppressed.
Reactance
- Reactance is an automatic negative response to perceived threats to one's freedom of choice.
- It can cause people to resist change, even if the suggested change is beneficial, leading to defensiveness and conflict.
