Affect refers to emotion. Does that help you answer the question?
To determine which of the options is not an example of the affective dimension of prejudice, we first need to understand what the affective dimension of prejudice refers to. The affective dimension of prejudice involves the emotional or evaluative component of prejudice, such as feelings, emotions, or attitudes towards a particular group.
Let's examine each of the options:
a. Fear and anger: Fear and anger are emotions associated with the affective dimension of prejudice. Therefore, option a is an example of the affective dimension of prejudice.
b. Stereotyping and overgeneralizations: Stereotyping and overgeneralizations refer to cognitive processes involving generalizations or assumptions about a group. While they are related to prejudice, they do not necessarily involve emotional aspects. They fall under the cognitive dimension of prejudice, not the affective dimension. Therefore, option b is not an example of the affective dimension of prejudice.
c. Repulsion and hatred: Repulsion and hatred are strong negative emotions associated with the affective dimension of prejudice. Thus, option c is an example of the affective dimension of prejudice.
d. General dislike: General dislike signifies an overall negative attitude or feeling towards a particular group. It is a manifestation of the affective dimension of prejudice. Therefore, option d is an example of the affective dimension of prejudice.
e. Distrust: Distrust, which refers to a lack of confidence or suspicion towards a group, is also an example of the affective dimension of prejudice. Option e represents the affective dimension of prejudice.
After analyzing each option, we can conclude that option b, "Stereotyping and overgeneralizations," is the correct answer as it does not represent the affective dimension of prejudice.
