Strategies for Handling Prejudice:

1. Minimising opportunities for learning prejudice.
2. Changing such attitude.
3. De-emphasising a narrow social identity based on the ingroup.
4. Discouraging the tendency towards self fulfilling prophecy among the victims of prejudice.

Education and information dissemination, for correcting stereotypes related to specific target groups, and tacking the problem of a strong ingroup bias.
Increasing intergroup contact allows for direct communication, removal of mistrust between the groups, and even discovery of positive qualities in the out group.
Highlighting individual identity rather than group identity, thus weakening the importance of group as a basis of evaluating the other person.
