Stereotype effect (p118 ~121)

How to overcome the stereotype effect;

Stereotype effect comes from the impression of direct communication and the introduction of others or the propaganda of the media. Stereotypes have both positive and negative effects.

People who live in the same area, engage in the same occupation and belong to the same race always have some common characteristics. Stereotype is based on the abstract and generalized understanding of a certain kind of members, which reflects the uniqueness of such members and has certain rationality and credibility, so it can simplify people's cognitive process, help people make judgments quickly and help people adapt to the environment quickly and effectively. However, after all, stereotype is only a general and general view, which is easy to "generalize by one side" and "look at people with colored glasses".

1. To evaluate others, we should have a big system thinking view, and avoid single-line thinking or straight-line thinking. In my opinion, there should be less "evaluation" and try not to evaluate.

2. Look at the problem from a developmental perspective.

3. Analyze the problem from various angles.

Therefore, it is necessary to overcome the negative influence of stereotypes and obtain accurate cognition.

Personally, I think it has a lot to do with the "first cause effect", so I feel the importance of a good first impression.
