Answer 1

Answer:

Research conducted on prejudicial attitudes and discriminatory behaviors revealed that college students who expressed higher than average feelings of prejudice toward Arab-Americans were more willing than those low in prejudice to convey bad news to Arabs.

Explanation:

Prejudice can be defined as preconceived ideas or opinions that are not based on facts or experience. In other words, it is what we think of others from afar, without having actually taken the time to get to know them, their culture, their lifestyle, and without truly trying to understand anything concerning those people. It is common for people who display prejudicial attitudes and discriminatory behaviors to, in a way or another, have less empathy for those who they are prejudiced against. That would explain why those students would be willing to convey bad news to Arabs. In a way, telling them bad news is a way of hurting them, making them worried or sad. A person who is not as prejudiced would have more empathy and, therefore, find it more difficult to convey such news.
