Stereotypes as Explanations is the first book to explore the process of stereotype formation, the way that people develop impressions and views of social groups. Conventional approaches to stereotyping assume that stereotypes are based on erroneous and distorted processes, but the authors of this book take a very different view, namely that stereotypes form in order to explain aspects of social groups and in particular to explain relationships between groups. In developing this view, the authors explore classic and contemporary approaches to stereotype formation and advance new ideas about such topics as the importance of category formation, essentialism, illusory correlation, interdependence, social reality and stereotype consensus. They conclude that stereotypes are indeed explanations, but they are nevertheless highly selective, variable and frequently contested explanations. 606 $aStereotypes (Social psychology) 606 $aSocial groups 606 $aPrejudices 615 0$aStereotypes (Social psychology) 615 0$aSocial groups. 615 0$aPrejudices. 676 $a303.3/85 701 $aMcGarty$b Craig$01720211 701 $aYzerbyt$b Vincent$01643360 701 $aSpears$b Russell$01761454 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826733603321 996 $aStereotypes as explanations$94200907 997 $aUNINA
