Understanding the Psychology of Diversity

In Understanding the Psychology of Diversity, Bruce Blaine and new coauthor Kimberly McClure Brenchley examine diversity from a psychological perspective. By studying how the individual constructs his or her view of social diversity and how she or he isdefined and influenced by social diversity, Blaine and Brenchley present all that psychology has to offer on this critically important topic. The book features chapters on traditional topics such as categorization and stereotypes, sexism, racism, and social stigma. Mixed in with this content are further chapters that explore important diversity topics such as sexual-orientation-based prejudice, weight and appearance-based prejudice, diversity on television, and on age stereotypes and ageism. Understanding the Psychology of Diversity is an ideal textbook to be applied to courses on the Psychology of Diversity, Prejudice, Stereotyping and Discrimination as well as Race and Gender--
