The group that is the target of prejudice is sometimes responsible for continuing the prejudice. The members of this target group may behave in a manner that proves the description to be true. This explains the concept of .............
Show Hint
- Kernel of truth
- Self-fulfilling prophecy
- Scapegoating
- Ingroup bias
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Kernel of truth: “Kernel of truth" suggests that there might be some truth to stereotypes, but this theory is often criticized due to being used to legitimize stereotypes.
Scapegoating: Scapegoating is the process of blaming an individual or a group for problems, without a basis for it.
Ingroup bias: Ingroup bias is the tendency to favor one's own group, and not about the behavior of the target group.

A school is organizing a debate competition with participants as speakers and judges. $ S = \{S_1, S_2, S_3, S_4\} $ where $ S = \{S_1, S_2, S_3, S_4\} $ represents the set of speakers. The judges are represented by the set: $ J = \{J_1, J_2, J_3\} $ where $ J = \{J_1, J_2, J_3\} $ represents the set of judges. Each speaker can be assigned only one judge. Let $ R $ be a relation from set $ S $ to $ J $ defined as: $ R = \{(x, y) : \text{speaker } x \text{ is judged by judge } y, x \in S, y \in J\} $.
