Theoretical Principles of Stereotyping and Social Behavior

This exam focuses on the cognitive processes involved in stereotype formation and their influence on social interactions and behavior. It requires an understanding of how individuals develop stereotypes based on various social cues.

Understanding these cognitive processes is crucial in fields such as social psychology, sociology, and behavioral sciences, as they significantly influence attitudes toward different social groups and contribute to societal issues such as discrimination and bias.

The exam will test the student's ability to articulate the relationship between stereotype formation and individual behavior. It will assess comprehension of key theories and models related to this topic.

The verbal assessment will also encourage critical discussion on the impact of stereotypes in various societal contexts, including media representation and group dynamics.
