Hi Jodi, with suspicion as a choice, I got this from a study on former hate group members and a study about prejudice reduction for everyday people. Former hate group members engage in self-talk to counter stereotypes and suspicions. It is an intentional act. And with prejudice reduction, there’s a similar recommendation to talk to yourself and replace stereotypes. These are serious and effective strategies. And they are basic human abilities and requirements, haha. I first wrote about them in a piece from January 2018 back when I could write in paragraphs without antics. Hah. Here it is- Learned from the worst.
