Answer 1

Answer:

b. she will say that john is the exception to the rule.

Explanation:

Stereotypes are generalizations that people make about behaviors or characteristics of others. Stereotypes are assumptions about certain people, often they happen without knowing about social groups or characteristics of individuals such as appearance, financial condition, behavior, sexuality etc.

As we can see from the question above, Sally established a stereotype on all psychology students. However, Sally met John, who although graduating in psychology, does not fit the stereotype created by Sally for these students. In that case, Sally will believe that John is an exception to the rule.
