Jenny reads the following headline on an online article: "If You're Sexist, People Will Think You're Racist, and Vice Versa." (This headline is based on a study conducted by Sanchez and colleagues, 2017.) This study found that members of stigmatized groups are threatened by prejudice directed at other stigmatized groups. Their results showed that White women can be threatened by racism, and men of color threatened by sexism, and that these perceptions made participants expect unfair treatment.

The results of this study can be generalized to which group?

Minority Group.

Explanation:

A minority group can be defined as the group of people who are singled out from the society based on their culture and appearance. Such groups are often a victim of discrimination. The people who are often singled out are based on gender, race, ethnicity, religion, etc.

The study of the article "If You're Sexist, People Will Think You're Racist and Vice Versa" will be generalised as a minority group. It is because, as stated, members of stigmatised (minority) groups were prejudiced or discriminated but another group (majority). The results will reveal that the groups which faced prejudice belonged to a minority group.

So, the correct answer is a minority group.
