Problem:
According to Marger, Ch. 3 ("Techniques of Domination"), one theory explains prejudice and discrimination as a process of "scapegoating." Persons who fail to achieve a highly desired goal, but who lack the power to address the real source of their problems, often blame these problems on racial minorities and other relatively powerless groups. This theory is called:
- Frustration-aggression theory
- Normative theory
- Marxist theory
- Reference Group theory
