Anti-prejudice programs can successfully target institutional rather than only individual bias.
Evidence
Allportās argument that intergroup relations programs were not able to address social-structural issues such as institutional prejudice and discrimination has proven not to be correct. Some techniques focus on group-level rather than individual-level relations, acknowledge that individuals are deļ¬ned and limited by their group identiļ¬cation, and demonstrate that groups are embedded in systematic power politics. In these programs, emphasis is placed on creating a more equitable environment in the institutions in which the programs are conducted. They also engage the participants in social change efforts that extend beyond these institutions. ā , Rudman, Laurie A - On the Nature ofā¦, 2672
