Stereotype Threat and Self-fulfilling Prophecies
42.8K
When we hold a stereotype about a person, we have expectations that he or she will fulfill that stereotype.

Fundamental Attribution Error
14.0K
According to some social psychologists, people tend to overemphasize internal factors as explanations—or attributions—for the behavior of other people. They tend to assume that the behavior of another person is a trait of that person, and to underestimate the power of the situation on the behavior of others. They tend to fail to recognize when the behavior of another is due to situational variables, and thus to the person’s state. This erroneous assumption is...
