Abstract |
The introduction to the thematic issue "Perception without prejudices and
stereotypes" shows the relations between nine articles of this volume and
broader theoretical context of this research domain. We briefly discuss the
variety of different cognitive, motivational, personality, and social processes
that may reduce prejudices and stereotypes. We emphasize the important contribution
of Polish social psychologists in this domain and indicate the potential practical
applications of this knowledge.
Key words: reducing prejudices and stereotypes; use of social stereotypes;
self-regulatory mechanisms
