Craig McGarty on Social Behavior - Dictionary of Arguments
Haslam I 239 Social Behavior/stereotypes/McGarty: without [changing stereotypes] meaningful social behaviour would be impossible (because, among other things, it would rule out the possibility of social cooperation and social change). McGarty et al. 1993(1) Thesis: stereotypes are not rigid, simplifying, and negative distortions of reality but in fact are impressions of groups that would tend to be as flexible, complex, positive, and accurate as they needed to be, in order to reflect the requirement of the perceivers who formed them to adapt to and interact with the environment they confront. >Social World/McGarty, >Stereotypes/McGarty, >Illusory correlation/McGarty. 1.
