Findings revealed a positive change in prejudices in students; students indicated a seemingly impossible shift, from self-reported “no prejudice” at the beginning of the course to “less prejudice” at the end. Findings indicated significantly significant shifts in attitudes toward women in careers, and a weaker but still significant shift in attitudes toward Asians. Findings suggested that empathic involvement with the other can shift attitudes toward members of that group. Findings are discussed in detail. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
