Question

A good example of the culture theory of prejudice is ________ Theodor Adorno's research on prejudiced people. Emory Bogardus's research on social distance. W. I. Thomas's vicious cycle theory. All of these responses are correct.

Answer 1

The correct answer is "Emory Bogardus's research on social distance". Emory Bogardus designed a Social Distance Scale for measuring attitudes toward racial and ethnic groups. Bogardus believed that the more prejudiced is a person against a race or ethnic group the less he would like to interact with someone that belongs to that group. He applied this concept to make the Social Distance Scale.
