Some experts have suggested that different types of prejudice may arise because of different emotional responses to the target group. From this perspective, prejudice arising from guilt may result in behaviors that try to avoid contact with the outgroup.

When an individual have a sense of guilt towards a group he is not a part of, he tends to isolate himself from such group. This behavior is not out of hate as may be interpreted by others but out of guilt.
