When information does not deter stereotyping: prescriptive stereotyping can foster bias under conditions that deter descriptive stereotyping
Article Abstract:
Descriptive stereotypes which purport to describe what group members are typically like, is distinguished from prescriptive stereotypes which describe the behavioral standards group members must uphold to avoid derision by the perceiver. The possibility that judgement-relevant behavioral information undercuts only descriptive and not prescriptive stereotyping is examined.
