Helena says that all sorority members are snobbish. What type of thinking error best explains this statement

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This statement is an example of outgroup homogeneity bias, which is the tendency to perceive members of a group as more similar to each other than they actually are, while perceiving members of one's own group as more diverse. In this case, Helena is placing all sorority members into one category and assuming they all share the same negative trait of being snobbish.
