Question

Chuck just met Elle Woods, a new Harvard law school student. Although Elle is very intelligent, she looks more like a blonde beauty queen than a law school student. Chuck thinks that someone as beautiful as Elle is much less likely to do well in school. It seems that Chuck has _____ about beautiful blondes.

Answer 1

Answer:

Stereotype

Explanation:

In social psychology, a stereotype is an over-generalized belief about a particular category of people. It is an expectation that people might have about every person of a particular group. The type of expectation can vary; it can be, for example, an expectation about the group's personality, preferences, or ability. So Chuck's on his own believes Elle would do less likely in school, not just because she is beautiful. But because she is a beautiful blonde.
