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.
Keywords: reducing prejudices and stereotypes; use of social stereotypes; self-regulatory mechanisms
