Stereotyping as Inductive Hypothesis Testing

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Traditional social hypotheses have a built-in tendency to verify themselves and so involuntarily resist attempts at stereotype change or correction. This is the insight demonstrated and discussed as the starting point for an alternative approach to the problem of stereotyping and hypothesis testing. This book explicates the proposition that many stereotypes originate not so much in individual brains, but in the stimulus environment that interacts with and constitutes the social individual.
