Cynthia has recently begun a career with a Jewish-based agency. Up until this point in her life, she had not had any interaction with anyone who was Jewish

Based on the individuals she works with, she has found them to be a very close knit group who care for their own in the community who may need assistance. Additionally, she has found them to be very educated and assertive. Cynthia now holds the view that all Jewish people are the same: educated, close knit within their own group, assertive, and caring toward other Jewish folks who need help. Cynthia's view represents
A) the ingroup perspective.
B) social facilitation.
C) a stereotype.
D) discrimination.

Answer: C
Rationale: A stereotype is a set of beliefs about a group of people. Stereotypes can be based on negative or positive characteristics. Her views are not from an ingroup perspective because she is not Jewish, and she is not acting in a discriminatory way.
