- Title
The inherence heuristic: A key theoretical addition to understanding social stereotyping and prejudice.
- Authors
Bigler, Rebecca S.; Clark, Caitlin
- Abstract
Prior work has detailed die constructivist processes that lead individuals to categorize others along particular dimensions (e.g., gender) and generate die content (e.g., stereotypes) and affect (e.g., prejudices) associated with social groups. The inherence heuristic is a novel mechanism that appears to shape the content and rigidity of children's social stereotypes and prejudices.
