Project
INFLUENCE OF THINKING STYLE IN THE PREDICTION OF PREJUDICE
The objective of this project is to study the role that thinking style (concrete vs. abstract style) plays in predicting prejudice, including various moderating and mediating variables of this influence, such as ideology, economic scarcity, or perceived intergroup competition.
Understanding better the cognitive and affective processes that influence prejudice will allow us to advance in its prediction, which will facilitate future interventions to improve coexistence, especially in the most vulnerable social groups.
