Cognitive and marketing research suggest that directly challenging prejudicial attitudes will strengthen, rather than reduce prejudice. </p><p>This research created an instrument to replace the Index of Attitudes toward Homosexuals and then employ an experimental design to provide much-needed methodological rigor to the evaluation of interventions. This design will be in service of assessing the impacts from a directly- and indirectly-challenging survey-based intervention. Contrary to expectation, direct challenges to prejudice created the desired reduction in prejudice. It is theorized this is from a reevaluation of social acceptance; the implications of this finding are then discussed.</p> 2011-04-21 English text Wright State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=wright1303151885 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=wright1303151885 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
