Answer:
1.the result of a common environment that stimulates people to react in the same way.
2.People carry around biases—subconscious or otherwise—about social groups and often treat members of different groups differently. But until now, it has been a challenge to capture links between such underlying stereotypes and their effects on how people act.
Across six studies, researchers from the University of Pennsylvania and the University of California, Berkeley, found that stereotypes about two well-studied traits, warmth and competence, play a large role in behavior by changing how much people care about equity. Capturing this in a computational model, the researchers were able to predict how people would behave in both laboratory and field studies.
3.One good first step is exactly what you are doing now—learn more about the problem. Increase your awareness of racism and how to combat it. White students at Rutgers University who completed a course on prejudice and conflict became less prejudiced (a measure of their feelings) and less stereotypical (a measure of their beliefs) compared with similar students who did not take the course (Rudman, Ashmore, and Gary, 2001). It is important to note that the class dealt quite specifically with prejudice and conflict.
