Question

How social learning influences prejudice?

Answer 1

Social learning influences prejudice because people often learn prejudiced attitudes from those around them. Children and adults pick up beliefs and behaviors by watching and listening to family, friends, teachers, and the media.

For example, if parents speak negatively about another caste or religion, children may also develop the same negative attitudes without questioning them. Similarly, movies or TV shows that show certain groups in a bad way can spread stereotypes.
