How does a sociological explanation of racial prejudice differ from a psychological?

Question

Im very grateful if you help meeee....

Answer 1

sociological will refer to the society as a whole and derive explanations from there whereas the psychological exlanation focuses in on the individual and the explanation of their racial prejudice

Answer 2

Sociology is the study of relationships between people, so in essence, it could be used as a sub for the word community.

Psychology is the study of the way one's (not plural) brain works.

So. A sociologist would say something like this: "Some people are prejudice so they can be accepted by their neighbors." While a psychologist would say: "Some people are prejudice because they like convenient things. It is convenient that everyone around is prejudice."

Hope this helped! :]

Answer 3

I thik sociological has something to do with the society generally and culture, and a psychological explanation would emphasize the individual and a possible mind/ soul/ spirit disorder.
