Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Stereotyping is the shortcut where people use generalizations about a group to make assumptions about individuals within that group, rather than taking the time to get to know each person as an individual. The halo effect refers to the tendency to let a positive impression in one area influence opinions or feelings in other areas. Self-serving bias is the tendency to attribute successes to internal factors and failures to external factors. Assumed similarity is the assumption that similarities exist between oneself and other people or groups without having any actual evidence to support this belief.
