Question

Although psychologists usually refer to stereotypes only in a __________ sense, it is possible for a person to have a __________ stereotype about a particular group.

Answer 1

Answer:

- negative

- positive

Explanation:

In social psychology, positive stereotypes are those that refer to a complimentary view about a specific social group.

For example, the belief that Asians have better math abilities and African Americans have better athletic abilities.

Because they portray a positive image of a group, positive stereotypes may seem like a kind of compliment, but they can still have a negative effect.
