Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A stereotype is a simplified, generalized belief about a group of people based on their membership in that group. It is rigidly held and may not accurately reflect the reality of each individual within the group. Biases may also be present in stereotypes but are not the same thing as a stereotype. An opinion or judgment may be based on personal experiences or individual beliefs, but a stereotype is more of a blanket assumption about a group of people.
