The Spotlight on Research study by Correll and colleagues demonstrated that stereotypes do not affect response tendencies during a shooting task.

Stereotypes

Oversimplified generalizations about groups of people that often underestimate individual differences and can lead to prejudice and discrimination.

Response Tendencies

The habitual ways in which individuals react to certain stimuli or situations, often developed through experience or conditioning.

Shooting Task

A specific activity or exercise designed to practice or assess accuracy and proficiency in using firearms or in contexts like sports, aiming at targets.
