Example of a Stereotype: Racial Beliefs about Athletes
A prominent stereotype involves beliefs about racial differences in athletic ability, such as the notion that Black athletes are more athletic while being less intelligent than their White counterparts. This type of belief can negatively influence how athletes are treated and how they perceive their own capabilities, and it often persists even when contradicted by high-profile examples.
