== <span style="color: #FFFFFF;">Remembering</span> ==
* '''Stereotype''' — A generalized "Belief" about a particular group of people (e.g., 'Scientists are all socially awkward').
* '''Prejudice''' — An "Unjustified" (and usually negative) "Attitude" toward a group and its members.
* '''Discrimination''' — "Unjustified Behavior" or "Action" toward a group or its members.
* '''Social Identity Theory''' (Tajfel) — The idea that our "Self-Esteem" comes from our "Group Membership," and we "Boost" our ego by "De-valuing" other groups.
* '''In-Group vs. Out-Group''':
** '''In-Group''': "Us"—people with whom we share a common identity.
** '''Out-Group''': "Them"—those perceived as different or apart from our group.
* '''Out-Group Homogeneity''' — The tendency to believe that "They are all the same," while "We are all different and unique."
* '''Implicit Bias''' — Attitudes or stereotypes that affect our understanding, actions, and decisions in an "Unconscious" manner.
* '''Implicit Association Test (IAT)''' — A famous test that measures "How fast" you link "Good/Bad" words to different groups, revealing "Hidden Prejudices."
* '''The Just-World Phenomenon''' — The tendency to believe that "The world is fair" and therefore "People get what they deserve" (a way to 'Blame the Victim').
* '''Scapegoating''' — The theory that prejudice offers an "Outlet for anger" by providing "Someone to blame" for our own problems.
* '''Contact Hypothesis''' — The idea that "Interacting" with people from other groups "Reduces" prejudice (if the interaction is positive and equal).
