	Stereotype - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Often a stereotype is a negative caricature or inversion of some positive characteristic possessed by members of a group, exaggerated to the point where it becomes repulsive or ridiculous.
		Stereotypes are common in the world of drama, where the term is often used as a form of dramatic shorthand for "stock character".
		For example, the stereotypical devil is a red, impish character with horns, bifurcated tail, and a trident, whilst the stereotypical salesman is a slickly-dressed, fast-talking individual who cannot usually be trusted.

	Ethnic stereotype - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An ethnic stereotype is a generalized representation of an ethnic group, composed of what are thought to be typical characteristics of members of the group.
		The use of stereotypes often leads to misunderstanding and hurt feelings, because they may be either untrue generalizations, truthful but unflattering generalizations, or truthful generalizations about a group which are untrue of any given member of a group.
		Many modern ethnic stereotypes can be described as accurate representations of social norms within a given ethnicity and may reflect what a large portion of the living population is, in fact, doing.

	The Librarian Stereotype and the Movies
		The librarian stereotype in these films is first discussed in relationship to the significance of character traits and job duties, and it is then examined as it appeared according to gender, age, marital status, characterization, and film genre.
		They are associated with certain recurring traits that form a stereotype which is seldom as simple as a severe, old-maidish librarian in glasses with a finger to her lips.
		Stereotypes are shorthand for attitudes and to work they must be recognized by the audience as such.

	Stereotype Vulnerability
		In an educational context in which stereotype vulnerable students are asked to perform tasks with which they identify comfortably as well as tasks as to which they are stereotype vulnerable, they should be more confident and better able to take on anxiety-provoking challenges.
		Furthermore, Steele found that stereotype vulnerability could be induced by asking students to identify their races in a pre-test questionnaire, even when they had been told that the test was not a measure of ability.
		We hypothesize that stereotype vulnerability will be reduced for all students by work that draws upon the full range of capacities relevant to good lawyering in a context which promotes shared work and a conception of ability as an expandable resource.

		By the term "stereotype threat" what we have in mind is simply being in a situation where a negative stereotype about your group could apply.
		It's important to stress that everybody experiences stereotype threat in some way or another because we're all members of one group or another that is negatively stereotyped in society.
		The complication with that though is that the fl kid has this racial stereotype to deal with [and] doesn't really know how he or she is going to be perceived in that situation.

	The Effects of Stereotype Threat on Women
		Stereotype threat is "an uncomfortable feeling that arises when people are at risk of confirming a negative stereotype in the eyes of others" (Steele, James, and Barnett, 2002).
		Stereotype threat can have an effect on an individual's performance if he or she knows "that some people hold a negative stereotype about their group" (O'Brien and Crandall, 2003).
		In a stereotype threat experiment, the participants that are concerned with confirming a negative stereotype about their group will perform more poorly than those who are not threatened by a stereotype (O'Brien and Crandall, 2003).

	Stereotype Accuracy - APA Books (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		The idea that stereotypes may have some degree of accuracy has been seen as anathema, and those raising the question of stereotype accuracy have been viewed as racist, sexist, or worse.
		Stereotype Accuracy breaks this taboo by presenting research related to stereotype accuracy, arguing that understanding stereotype accuracy is crucial to both social psychology and to its applications (e.g., to improving intergroup relations).
		The goals of this volume are to reduce commonplace errors in modern social science by challenging the off-hand and undocumented claims appearing in the scholarly literature that stereotypes are "typically" inaccurate, resistant to change, overgeneralized, exaggerated, and generally destructive.

	2 Tone Records - Stereotype - CHS TT13
		This single was a lifted from the bands second album and saw the band move away form their ska roots and experiment with lounge music or musak as it was called.
		Stereotype was a strange choice of track to release but it sold well, giving the band yet another 10 ten hit.
		The single was promoted in the music press by a picture of a car crash, which can be assumed is a reference to the line “he drives home pissed at night” and “ He’s wrapped ‘round a lamp post on Saturday night”.

	Mental Health - Stereotyping - Stereotype Threat
		BOSTON, MA — As members of a stereotyped group grapple with how their self-image interacts with a stereotype, they may be dealing with a predicament that mental health professionals call stereotype threat.

	argouml: 15.5. Stereotype
		Stereotypes are the main extension mechanism of UML, providing a way to derive specializations of the standard metaclasses.
		Tagged values for a stereotype are rather different to those for elements in the UML core architecture, in that they apply to all artifacts to which the stereotype is applied, not just the stereotype itself.
		This creates a new stereotype (see Section 15.5, “Stereotype”) within the model (which appears on no diagram), navigating immediately to the properties tab for that stereotype.

	Article by JD
		Stereotypes, of course, come in both positive and negative varieties, with a single group often being the subject of both simultaneously.
		Pure logic suggests that stereotypes fall into four classes (any one of which might, of course, after careful research, turn out to be empty): positive and accurate, positive and inaccurate, negative and accurate, negative and inaccurate.
		Stereotypes are, in fact, merely one aspect of the mind's ability to make generalizations, without which science and mathematics, not to mention much of everyday life, would be impossible.

	Reducing Stereotype-based Judgments: The Impact of Habitual Stereotype Use New Zealand Journal of Psychology - Find ...
		The focus of the present research, however, is on the impact of differences in perceivers' use of stereotypes on their response to the presentation of stereotype disconfirming information about specific targets and their subsequent endorsement of stereotype-based beliefs.
		Those motivated primarily by internal factors should strive against prejudice and stereotyping in all situations whilst those motivated by external factors should be less prejudiced and rely less on stereotypes only in situations where there is potential external evaluation of their responses.
		When a social norm against stereotype use was made salient by a confederate, individuals' judgments were less stereotypic than when no such norm, or a norm promoting stereotype use, was made salient, regardless of the individuals' prejudice level.

	CCSR - Stereotype Threat and Severe Mental Illness
		One social factor that influences cognitive functioning is a person's reaction to being the object of stereotype and prejudice: stereotype threat.
		Steele (1997) coined the term "stereotype threat" to describe this phenomenon; it is the social-psychological threat that occurs when members of a stereotyped outgroup (e.g., African Americans, women, persons with schizophrenia) find themselves in a situation specific to a domain for which a negative stereotype applies.
		The experiences of stereotypes and the social cognitive deficits of severe mental illness seem to differ markedly from the experiences of women and African Americans.

	UnderstandingPrejudice.org: The Psychology of Prejudice
		Journalist Walter Lippmann (1922) later likened stereotypes to "pictures in the head," or mental reproductions of reality, and from there, the term gradually came to mean generalizations -- or, quite often, overgeneralizations -- about the members of a group.
		In the skeleton there is a smoothness of contour which even in adults often recalls the bony form of a child, and among some members of the group the forehead has that prominent and smooth form which is so characteristic of the infant of our own race.
		Today it would be shocking for a respected encyclopedia to print a stereotype such as this, yet other stereotypes concerning race, gender, religion, and sexual orientation remain widespread.

	Stereotypes
		Stereotypes are generalizations, or assumptions, 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.
		For example, one study of stereotypes revealed that Americans are generally considered to be friendly, generous, and tolerant, but also arrogant, impatient, and domineering.
		One problem is that negative stereotypes will influence the parties' perceptions of their opponent and block potential cooperation between them.

	Steele Discusses “Stereotype Threat”
		Steele made clear that stereotype threat is not limited to historically disadvantaged groups, and that every person suffers stereotype threat in certain contexts.
		According to Steele, a person’s fear of being negatively stereotyped according to race—whites as racist, fls as intellectually inferior, for example—creates a general level of discomfort in racially mixed settings.
		He maintained that stereotype threat would continue as the “default setting” until steps are taken to counteract it.

	Spinster: An evolving stereotype
		She fits the classic stereotyped image of a spinster and we have compartmentalized her as such in our minds before she has a chance to speak her first line.
		When a stereotype is outside or deviant from what people generally consider normal, Peach (1998) proposes that these stereotypes function as a form of social control.
		Another aspect of the spinster stereotype is the relegation of the individual to the role of caretaker.

	Media Influence and Self-Image
		Children also observe and are exposed to prejudice by watching television, reading books and magazines, or even studying school textbooks that present stereotyped views of various groups of people.
		To label an entire group based on the actions of some is to engage in stereotyping.
		Even when a stereotype is positive, such as when people in one racial group are thought to be superior athletes, the consequences of stereotyping are negative.

	Mass media and the African American criminal male stereotype
		It poisons race relations in the United States, Rome says, by contributing to negative stereotypes of African American men, creating damaging self-fulfilling prophecies for fl youth and bolstering an age-old fear many white Americans have of African Americans.
		While the book is geared to the college classroom, Rome wrote it to appeal to the general public as well, which he would like to see take a more critical view of media that he says foster a negative stereotype of African Americans.
		He makes a strong case for how the African American male criminal stereotype continues to be used to justify covert and overt racism.
