Stereotypes
Dr. Madon's past work on stereotypes examined how they can contribute to social problems. Her work in this area addressed five broad issues: stereotype content, stereotype change, stereotype (in)accuracy, the application of stereotypes to individuals from stigmatized groups, and the cumulative self-fulfilling effect of stereotypes.
