Do stereotypes ever change? Under what circumstances might we expect stereotypes to change? Who is more likely (and who is less likely) to hold on to a stereotype?
What will be an ideal response?
Stereotypes are capable of being changed. Stereotypes about a group might change when our relationship with that group changes. This allows us to develop different notions about the characteristics of that group. Higher-status groups are more likely to hold on to stereotypes about a lower-status group; whereas lower-status groups are more likely to waver in their stereotypes of a higher-status group.
