the halo effect
stereotyping
causal attribution
implicit bias
Solution
Answer
The answer is stereotyping.
Explanation
Option 1: The halo effect
The halo effect refers to the cognitive bias where the perception of one positive trait (such as attractiveness) influences the perception of other traits (such as intelligence or capability). It is not specifically about attributing group characteristics to an individual.
Option 2: Stereotyping
Stereotyping is the tendency to attribute specific characteristics to an individual based on the perceived characteristics of the group to which they belong. This involves generalizing traits or behaviors from a group to an individual, often without considering individual differences.
Option 3: Causal attribution
Causal attribution is the process of trying to determine the causes of people's behavior. It involves attributing behavior to either internal dispositions or external situations, rather than attributing group characteristics to an individual.
Option 4: Implicit bias
Implicit bias refers to the attitudes or stereotypes that affect our understanding, actions, and decisions in an unconscious manner. While it can involve stereotypes, it is broader and includes unconscious attitudes that may not be directly related to group characteristics.
