Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Prejudice refers to a preconceived bias against a group that's not based on reason or experience. Implicit bias may be similar, but it's not necessarily based on a group and can be subconscious. Statistical discrimination refers to making judgments based on group data, which is not the same as prejudice. Compensatory bias refers to trying to counteract prior bias, and is not related to the given definition of prejudice.
