In Cognitive Aspects of Prejudice, Tajfel examines how prejudice is tied to cognitive processes, not only to emotions. He argues that humans naturally categorize people into groups, which simplifies the world, but it also leads to stereotyping. These mental shortcuts help people navigate complex social environments, but they also distort reality and fuel biased thinking." (must-read)
