What Does Neuroscience Suggest About Prejudice: Michael Inzlicht

Michael Inzlicht, a psychologist from the University of Toronto, delivers a talk titled "What Does Neuroscience Suggest About Prejudice" as part of Facing History's Day of Learning "Reimagining Self and Other." Inzlicht illustrates that stereotypes and the idea of stereotype threat have very real consequences in terms of achievement, behavior, and perhaps even health. He explains studies that both he and other scholars in the field have conducted that show how stereotypes and stereotype threat affect those who experience them, even showing how these experiences can affect a person's ability to restrain his or her impulses and to exercise self control.
