Abstract

Nonprejudice and antiprejudice (proactively fighting prejudice) have distinct outcomes. An examination of their predictors revealed that antiprejudice was uniquely predicted by locus of control, morality, and perceived necessity. Nonprejudice was uniquely predicted by outgroup acceptance and social desirability. These results hold implications for methods of encouraging action against prejudice.
