There are 4 different types of stereotypes, gender stereotypes, racial stereotypes, age stereotypes and occupational stereotypes. Below will explain what each of them means and provide an example.
1. Gender Stereotypes
These are stereotypes that generalize a whole group based on Gender. An example of this could be what kind of toys kids play with, boys are supposed to play with cars and action figures while girls are supposed to play with dolls and play houses.
2. Age Stereotypes
These are stereotypes that define groups and the capabilities based on how old a person or group of people are. For example, old people are physically incapable compared to people of younger age. When in reality, with good health and habits you can maintain your physical levels into old age.
3. Racial Stereotypes
This is stereotypes that are based solely on the race of someone or a group. An example of this is that all Asian people are smart, all Black people are athletic or all White people are rich. This is harmful since it does not apply to everyone in the group and can affect how people think of themselves compared to others.
4. Occupational Stereotypes
Stereotypes in this category are generalizations made about people who work a certain job. Janitors have achieved little, teachers are always right, doctors are smarter than people of other occupations, the list goes on.
