Related events of stereotype effect

I once saw such a joke on a website: If there is an angry Chongqing girl in front of you and an abyss behind you, then I advise you to jump back! This joke can't be said to be unreasonable. The fierceness of Chongqing girls can be said to be "famous". So when it comes to Chongqing girls, the first thing that comes to mind is the word "fierce", regardless of whether there are any "exceptions" that have been wronged. This is the so-called "stereotype" Stereotype refers to people's fixed, generalized and general views on a certain kind of people or things, which is quite common when we know others. We often hear people say that "Changsha girls can't make friends, and their faces are as peach as knives" and Northeast girls "would rather be hungry than beautiful". In fact, the stereotype is mainly formed because we have no time and energy to communicate with every member of a certain group in the process of interpersonal communication, but only with some of them. So we can only "infer everything from the ingredients" and be contacted by us.

Stereotypes, once formed, are hard to change. Therefore, in daily life, we must consider the influence of stereotypes. For example, market research companies should generally choose women instead of men when recruiting interviewers for household surveys, because in people's impression, women are generally kind, less aggressive and more weak, so household surveys pose less threat to their owners; Men, especially able-bodied men, are easily rejected if they ask for home visits, because they are more likely to remind people of a series of things related to violence and attacks, which will enhance people's defensive psychology.

"Birds of a feather flock together, and people are divided into groups." People who live in the same area, engage in the same occupation and belong to the same race always have some common characteristics. Therefore, stereotypes are generally reasonable.

"People have different ideas, each with its own face". In the final analysis, stereotype is only a general and general view, and it cannot replace a living individual. Therefore, the mistake of "generalizing the whole" is always inevitable. If we don't understand this, when dealing with people, "only stereotypes are foresight", such as "cutting the foot and fitting the shoes", Zheng people would rather believe that stereotypes are "size" than their own personal experiences, and mistakes will occur, leading to the failure of interpersonal communication, which naturally will not help us to succeed.
