Introduction

Welcome to the research guide for Stereotypes in the Media. This guide has been created for Year 11 students examining stereotypes in the media and responding to the comment “... it would be interesting to find out what goes on in that moment when someone looks at you and draws all sorts of conclusions.” by Malcolm Gladwell.

Psychologists once believed that only bigoted people used stereotypes. Now the study of unconscious bias is revealing the unsettling truth: We all use stereotypes, all the time, without knowing it. We have met the enemy of equality, and the enemy is us.

(Paul, A, 2016)
