From psychological distortion to socially structured meaning - Prejudice in a social vacuum 

In this video Professor John C. Turner, from the
School of Psychology at the Australian National University, will pose the basic question, what is the nature of "prejudice"?  It will define what I mean by the prejudice view of social conflict, illustrate the development of this idea through some 80 years of research in social psychology, and summarize the main themes or, if one prefers, hypotheses of the prejudice view.  It will also introduce the three "intergroup" theories (of realistic conflict, social identity and self-categorization), which provide the building blocks for an alternative view.
