Allport devoted just one short chapter to prejudice’s effects on its targets

Evidence

In The Nature of Prejudice, Allport devoted but a single chapter to the psychological impact of prejudice on those who are its targets: chapter 9, titled “Traits Due to Victimization.” Despite its brevity, this seminal chapter anticipated many of the research questions that scholars interested in responses to prejudice pursue today. The present chapter outlines Allport’s contribution to a growing body of literature that has begun to yield answers to the question he asked at the beginning of his chapter, “Ask yourself what would happen to your own personality if you heard it said over and over again that you were lazy, a simple child of nature, expected to steal, and had inferior blood?” (Allport, 1954/1979, p. 142). — , Rudman, Laurie A - On the Nature of…, 926
