Stereotyping

We adopt generalized beliefs that members of a group will have certain characteristics, despite not having information about the individual.

Example“That guy with the fancy mustache is a hipster. He probably has a vinyl collection.”
What to doAsk what you actually know about this individual, as opposed to what you assume about their group.
