Which of the following is a characteristic of prejudice?

AA generalized evaluation, specifically of out-group members

BNegativity

CBiased perceptions

DAll of the above ✓ Correct

Correct answer: (D) All of the above

Explanation

Prejudice combines a generalized negative evaluation of out-group members, negativity and biased perceptions together.

A generalized evaluation aimed specifically at out-group members is one of its defining marks.

Negativity, an unfavourable feeling held in advance, is another feature of it.

Biased perceptions that skew how the group is seen also belong to it.

Because each of these describes prejudice, they hold true jointly.

Prejudice is a pre-formed attitude that resists contrary evidence.
