Answer:

Prejudice

Prejudice is an unjustified or incorrect attitude (usually negative) towards an individual based solely on the individual’s membership of a social groups.

A prejudiced person may not act on their attitude. Therefore, someone can be prejudiced towards a certain group but not discriminate against them. Also, prejudice includes all three components of an attitude (affective, behavioral and cognitive), whereas discrimination just involves behavior.

For example, a person may hold prejudiced views towards a certain race or gender etc. (e.g. sexist).

Discrimination

There are four main explanations of prejudice and discrimination:

1. Authoritarian Personality

2. Realistic Conflict Theory - Robbers Cave

3. Stereotyping

4. Social identity Theory

For example, Discrimination is the behavior or actions, usually negative, towards an individual or group of people, especially on the basis of sex/race/social class, etc

Gender Discrimination

In Western societies while women are often discriminated against in the workplace, men are often discriminated against in the home and family environments.

For instance after a divorce women receive primary custody of the children far more often than men. Women on average earn less pay than men for doing the same job.
