stereotype
含义: A widely held but oversimplified and generalised image or idea of a particular type of person, group, or thing; as a verb, to assign such fixed characteristics to someone.
Stereotypes can be positive or negative but are always reductive — they reduce complex individuals to a set of assumed traits. Gender stereotypes, racial stereotypes, and national stereotypes are commonly discussed. In psychology, stereotyping is understood as a cognitive shortcut that helps the brain process information quickly but often leads to inaccurate judgements. Media representation plays a significant role in perpetuating or challenging stereotypes.
