Allport organized prejudice around cognitive, motivational, and sociocultural processes.

Evidence

Gordon Allport is widely recognized for his significant insights into prejudice. His expertise on the topic was clearly deep and broad, but he also had a unique capacity for integration. He organized many disparate views on prejudice and synthesized them around three basic themes, concerning cognitive, motivational, and sociocultural processes. These processes are frequently intertwined in practice, and each chapter in this volume typically addresses all three types. Allport himself acknowledged that “[intergroup] conflict is like a note on an organ. It sets all prejudices that are attuned to it in simultaneous vibration” (1954/1979, p. 233). However, as will be outlined below, each of these components involves some conceptually distinct processes. — John F. Dovidio, Peter Glick, Laurie A. Rudman, On the Nature of Prejudice, 106
