Implications of research on prejudice for counseling practice. In D. Kleiber & E. Delgado-Romero

Understanding prejudice has historically been a fundamental objective for the field of social psychology. Through the examination of topics such as human aggression, conformity, prejudice, stereotype threat, and social cognition, social psychologists have aided in the collective understanding of the insidious nature and underlying mechanisms of prejudice that pervades modern society. Thus, the field of counseling psychology can learn much from its colleagues in social psychology towards the advancement and expression of its core values. This chapter reviews recent research in the field of psychology as it relates to prejudice and bias, using Aronson's chapter on prejudice in  The Social Animal  (2012) as a guide for relevant topics. It examines the brief literature review for the emergence of implications for the field of counseling psychology. Counseling Psychology is an extremely broad specialty within the field of psychology, leading to Counseling Psychologists to integrate research, supervision, education training programs, practice, assessments, and public relation activities. Thus, implications and recommendations drawn from the literature can be applied to any of these areas.
