Evidence

If one were to take his landmark book, The Nature of Prejudice, and use it as a guide for designing intergroup relations programs, a set of programs that looks very much like those of today would result. Unfortunately, however, most of today’s intergroup relations program evaluations fall short of the evaluation standards set forth by Allport. — John F. Dovidio, Peter Glick, Laurie A. Rudman, On the Nature of Prejudice, 2625
