Question

The selection committee was looking over the résumé of abdul ishtar who had applied for the dean of the college position. his records showed that he was born and raised in south yemen, but had been in the united states for the past 25 years. he has been chair of the psychology department of a regional university for the past 12 years. his letters of recommendation were excellent. some of the women on the committee expressed concern about the ability of a man raised in an islamic culture to treat women fairly and objectively. their resistance resulted in his being excluded as a finalist. which barrier to effective interpersonal communication does this example reflect?

Answer 1

This reflect "stereotyping and prejudice".

In social psychology, the term stereotype is any considered thinking regarding particular kinds of people or certain methods for acting expected to speak for the whole gathering of those people or practices overall. These convictions could possibly be right or wrong as well like in this example Abdul’s qualifications are set aside and a stereotyping has come up about women being treated unfairly in Muslim societies.
