Detailed explanation-1: -: to believe unfairly that all people or things with a particular characteristic are the same. It’s not fair to stereotype a whole group of people based on one person you don’t like.
Detailed explanation-2: -Abstract: Stereotypes are false or misleading generalizations about groups held in a manner that renders them largely, though not entirely, immune to counterevidence.
Detailed explanation-3: -Stereotype threat is defined as a “socially premised psychological threat that arises when one is in a situation or doing something for which a negative stereotype about one’s group applies” (Steele & Aronson, 1995).
