Archie is a bigoted white man who works down at the local pizza parlor. Archie's boss hires Bob, a black man, to work with Archie on the pizza assembly line. Bob is highly intelligent, very motivated, and in all respects a very personable man

What should Archie's boss do to manipulate the situation so that Archie might change his initial negative impression of Bob to a more accurate one?

What will be an ideal response?

Answer: Options include making it clear that injunctive and descriptive norms run counter to the expression of prejudice; assure that Bob and Archie are of equal status (if possible); create interdependence between the two; assure that there is contact between the two (which is likely anyway); emphasize the need to work together to achieve superordinate goals.
