Baron wants to reduce prejudice toward incoming minority students at his elementary school. Before the minority students arrive, Baron puts up posters showing children of all nationalities holding hands. Next, he plans a scavenger hunt in which incoming students are mixed with current students and divided into small groups. Each student receives a secret clue critical to his or her group's success in finding the treasure. Baron's actions reflect his understanding of A. primacy effects. B. social role theory. C. social identity theory. D. the contact hypothesis

The correct answer is option D. The contact hypothesis

Explanation:

The contact hypothesis is a concept that involves the inter group interaction for the purpose of reducing social prejudices regarding caste, color or creed. Communication can break many socially built assumptions and bring people together.

Baron used this concept in the scavenger hunt so that the students are forced to communicate with each other and build relations based on compatibility rather than other external factors.

The correct answer is letter D

The hypothesis of  contact starts from the assumption that, through the approximation of the prejudiced subject and his victim, there would be  a perception of similarities in several sectors, such as  like values, ideas and emotions. Contact can reduce prejudice in some cases, such as  seen in his study of anti-Semitism; however, when  it is an extreme prejudice, rooted in deep  unconscious sources, simple contact is not enough  for its reduction.
