Abstract: This course was created to examine institutionalized
prejudice in the field of psychology. Psychology, as a
discipline, has been an arena for examining the structure
and etiology of prejudice (Duckitt; Myers). Coetaneously,
psychology has been rife with institutionalized prejudice in
terms of theories, especially Freud's theory (see Kittay;
Westerlund; the investigation of intelligence (e.g., Gould;
Zuckerman and Brody) sex differences (e.g., Baumeister;
Gould), and racial differences (e.g., Fairchild; Gould), and
in diagnostic criteria and categorization (e.g., Franks;
Tavris; Wright et al.). This course was designed to examine
these issues and to look for ways in which we might
contribute to more objective research, teaching, and service
in psychology and allied disciplines. This overview focuses
primarily on prejudice in the areas of psychometry and
diagnostics.
