Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both positive and negative stereotypes can result in negative emotions as they limit the individual's ability to show their true selves and be seen and understood as unique individuals beyond their cultural background. Using stereotypes, whether positive or negative, can also perpetuate systemic discrimination and bias. Therefore, it is not acceptable to use either positive or negative stereotypes to provide feedback or motivation.
