Description

To explore the impact of stereotyping on jobs and promotions,the study is placed in the context of work situations and employment roles. Findings in a diverse student population of 127 undergraduate students showed that of the four groups, African American men were viewed most negatively. Specifically, they were seen as less competent and less polite than employees in any of the other three groups, and less serious about work than African American women and Asian American men. Results are discussed with regard to stereotype intervention and communications training necessary to coalesce efforts of diverse groups.
