Answer: Subtype

Explanation: Subtyping with regards to psychology occurs when an individual meets or encounters a person or object who does not conform to their stereotype( a general idea, view or perception of a person or object which may not always be true), such person is seen as an exception and then placed in another subgroup different from those who conform to their stereotype.

In the scenario above, Mike has a stereotype of both men and women, however, he meets Karen who does not totally conform to his stereotype of women, He thus regarded Karen as been an exception( a subtype) rather than revising or redefining his stereotype of women.
