Prejudices can be minimized by

The correct answer is Option (1) → Highlighting individual identity

Option (1) Highlighting individual identity — Correct. One of the strategies for handling prejudice is highlighting individual identity rather than group identity. When a person is judged as an individual, the group (ingroup or outgroup) loses its importance as the basis of evaluating her/him, and prejudice weakens.

Option (2) following self-fulfilling prophecy — Incorrect. In a self-fulfilling prophecy the target group behaves in ways that confirm the negative expectations, and so strengthens the existing prejudice. Handling prejudice means discouraging this tendency, not following it.

Option (3) translating negative feeling into discrimination — Incorrect. When prejudice is translated into discrimination, people actually behave less positively towards the target group. This is prejudice becoming worse in action, not being reduced.

Option (4) having strong social identity — Incorrect. A strong social identity is a source of prejudice: people with a very positive attitude to their own group boost it by holding negative attitudes towards other groups. The strategies aim at de-emphasising a narrow social identity.
