What are some examples of stereotypes?

Examples of stereotypes are: friends who eat fruits may feel that they prefer to buy oranges with yellow skin to oranges with green skin, even though the two oranges are as sweet and delicious. Because in their impression, the green orange is immature and sour. This is a stereotype, ignoring individual differences. Stereotypes tend to generalize the fixed view that this thing or the whole has this characteristic, ignoring individual differences.

The reason of stereotype

Stereotype, also known as stereotype effect, refers to the individual's stable view of some people or things influenced by society. It has both positive and negative aspects. On the positive side, we can judge a certain kind of people who have a lot in common within a certain range, and draw conclusions directly from fixed viewpoints without exploring information, which simplifies the cognitive process and saves a lot of time and energy.

On the negative side, making general conclusions on the basis of limited materials will make people ignore individual differences when they know others, which will lead to perceptual errors and hinder the correct evaluation of others. Stereotypes are mainly used in social life and organizational management.
