Be particularly mindful of the default processes of valuing your own group while devaluing others (Efferson, Lalive, and Feh 2008). Notice how often that valuing actually has no rational basis. Be aware of the little ways that your mind regards others as less of a person than you—as an “It” to your “I.” Focus on the good things about people in other groups. Regard people more as individuals than as representatives of a group, which reduces prejudice (Fiske 2002).
