www.psychexamreview.com In this video I discuss how our tendency to use heuristics, shortcuts, and assumptions to fill in the gaps in our knowledge reveals our reliance on stereotypes to understand the world. These can lead us to prejudice or discrimination when we make assumptions about people based on their groups. The Ultimate Attribution Error refers to our tendency to apply dispositional explanations to entire groups of people while minimal group theory suggests that we can form social groups easily and on the basis of trivial classifications. Our tendency to think in terms of in-group bias and out-group homogeneity can influence our judgments of others and in extreme cases, lead to dehumanization of out-group members.
