Let's Assume That You Have a Stereotype of a Rival

Let's assume that you have a stereotype of a rival group. You believe that the members of this other group are unintelligent, uncultured, and rude. In which scenario would you be least able to form a subtype, and as a result would your stereotype be most likely to change?

A) You work with an individual from the rival group and they are always telling you about the 4-star restaurants they have eaten at.
B) You spend time volunteering with an individual from the rival group and he is so nice and atypical that you often forget he is part of the other group.
C) You meet a large collection of individuals from the rival group at a parade and they all seem to be smart and kind.
D) Your basketball team is competing against the rival group's team and the winner gets a fabulous prize.
