Reducing Prejudice Through Intergroup Contact Situations: Why Does This Approach Fail?
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. Victims of prejudice often face considerably more challenges than other members of society, in that they have to struggle just to achieve a modicum of acceptance. Their societal counterparts, who are frequently ignorant to deeper issues surrounding such intolerance, often unknowingly make them feel inadequate and worthless when it comes to intergroup contact situations. Incorporating group counseling – as a means by which to overcome the not-so-invisible boundaries that intrude upon an individual's right to exist – would appear to be a most effective way to address the inherent fear, isolation and depression associated with social prejudice; however, it has not proven successful at achieving this objective.
