Persuasion Theory
A stereotype is a widely held but oversimplified and generalized belief about a particular group of people or things. These preconceived notions often influence how individuals perceive and interact with others, leading to assumptions that can be either positive or negative. In terms of liking and attractiveness, stereotypes can significantly shape social dynamics, as they affect how people evaluate one another based on perceived traits associated with their group identity.
