Prejudice is a baseless and usually negative

attitude toward members of a group. Common

features of prejudice include negative feelings,

stereotyped beliefs, and a tendency to

discriminate against members of the group.

While specific definitions of prejudice given by

social scientists often differ, most agree that it

involves prejudgments (usually negative)

about members of a group.
