The formative framework in prejudice confrontations research has focused on the utility of confrontations to activate one's self-regulation strategies to interrupt unintentional prejudice, discrimination, and stereotyping. As this framework remains dominant in the literature, little research has examined everyday people's theories about prejudice that diverge from this framework and accounted for these theories in investigating confrontation rates and outcomes. In this paper, we review key lay theories of prejudice and discuss the ways in which they may influence prejudice confrontations. First, we summarize lay theories regarding the prevalence, origins, and controllability of prejudice. Next, we consider how lay theories of prejudice may factor into the circumstances under which people confront prejudice, goals that people may hold when confronting, and outcomes of confronting for confronters and perpetrators. Throughout, we highlight fundamental research questions and hypotheses that integrate lay theories of prejudice and prejudice confrontations. We propose that better understanding lay theories of prejudice and how they influence prejudice confrontations may help to advance translational and theoretical research in social psychology.

偏见的非专业理论如何塑造偏见对抗：检查关于偏见流行、起源和可控性的信念

偏见对抗研究的形成性框架侧重于对抗的效用，以激活一个人的自我调节策略，以打断无意的偏见、歧视和刻板印象。由于该框架在文献中仍然占主导地位，因此很少有研究研究与该框架不同的日常人们关于偏见的理论，并在调查对抗率和结果时解释了这些理论。在本文中，我们回顾了偏见的关键非专业理论，并讨论了它们可能影响偏见对抗的方式。首先，我们总结了关于偏见的普遍性、起源和可控性的外行理论。接下来，我们考虑偏见理论如何影响人们面对偏见的情况，人们在对抗时可能持有的目标，以及对抗者和肇事者的对抗结果。在整个过程中，我们强调了整合偏见和偏见对抗的非专业理论的基础研究问题和假设。我们建议更好地理解偏见的非专业理论以及它们如何影响偏见对抗可能有助于推进社会心理学的转化和理论研究。
