Self -actualization is the pinnacle of human potential that is frequently sabotaged by levels of bias and prejudice. This mixed methods study investigated the impact of value cognitions on bias and prejudice. Findings indicate that value judgment predicts prejudice using a new composite multivariate that practitioners can use to identify the value cognitions responsible for the saboteurs of self-actualization.References
