StereotypesPedro Bordalo, Katherine Coffman, Nicola Gennaioli, Andrei Shleifer First draft, November 2013. This version, May present a model of Stereotypes in which a decision maker assessing a group recallsonly that group s most representative or distinctive types. Stereotypes highlight differencesbetween groups, and are especially inaccurate (consisting of unlikely, extreme types) whengroups are similar. Stereotypical thinking implies overreaction to information that generatesor confirms a stereotype, and underreaction to information that contradicts it. Stereotypescan change if new information changes the group s most distinctive trait. We present exper-imental evidence on the role of representativeness in shaping subjects mental representationof groups.
