Discussion
When prejudice translates into behavioural component it may manifest through which of the following?
Answer: B
Prejudice has a behavioural component that shows up as discrimination, that is, unfair treatment of people because of the group they belong to. Stereotypes are the cognitive component, being generalised beliefs about a group, and attitude is the broader evaluation of which prejudice is one form. Defamation is damaging a person's reputation by false statements, which is a legal wrong and not the behavioural face of prejudice.
In the usual three-part model of prejudice, stereotypes form the cognitive part, a negative feeling forms the affective part, and discrimination forms the behavioural part.
