generalizations, assumptions or clasification that people make about the characteristics of all members of a group, based on an image (often wrong) about what people in that group are like,these classifications can be positive or negative. • Stereotypes can be either positive ("black men are good at basketball") or negative ("women are bad drivers"). But they are all unfair and misleading. In general, stereotypes reduce individuals to a rigid, inflexible image; they do not account for the fact that human beings are complex and multidimensional, with unique attributes. • Stereotypes suggest that people or groups of people are the same, when, in fact, they are quite different. Stereotypes about human beings tend to dehumanize people, placing all members of a group into one, simple category. • Stereotypes ignore the uniqueness of individuals by painting all members of a group with the same brush. The Example of Stereotype
One study of stereotypes revealed that
Americans are generally considered to be friendly, generous, and tolerant, but also arrogant, impatient, and domineering. Asians, on the other hand, are expected to be shrewd and alert, but reserved. Clearly, not all Americans are friendly and generous; and not all Asians are reserved. But according to this study, others commonly perceive them this way. Why Stereotype is exist? It's easy: The world is too complex! Our brains are not capable of storing up to detailed information. Therefore, the information is simplified and stored in the brain as schemata. This information is prototype, meaning that there is a picture that represents the complex case is described. Stereotypes are also not separated from our emotions as human beings who get a stereotype of the things we experience, we read, we hear or we get from other sources. OverGeneralization
Overgeneralization is probably the most
common mistake we make in our automatic thinking. It's easy to see why. Each of us has to think about new experiences in terms of old experiences. We recognize most easily those qualities in a person or thing which we have seen before. The Example of OverGeneralization
The kind of overgeneralization that gives us, as students,
the most trouble is the kind we make about our own performances and capabilities. If I've done poorly on essay exams in the past, when I find out that I have to take an essay exam my automatic thought may be, "I do poorly on essay exams." I am generalizing from one or two experiences of a certain kind to all experiences of a certain kind. Notice that this makes no sense at all until I have examined the differences, as well as the similarities, between the present task and the past one. The Differences beetwen Stereotype and Overgeneralization While all stereotypes are overgeneralizations, not all overgeneralizations are stereotypes. Stereotypes are oversimplification of people groups widely circulated in certain societies.On the other hand, a person can make a overgeneralization about an ethnic group that hasn’t been perpetuated in society Thanks For Your AttenTion
