Carol Tavris Quotes

Prejudices Emerge From The Disposition Of The Human Mind To Perceive And Process Information In Categories. "Categories" Is A Nicer, More Neutral Word Than "stereotypes," But It's The Same Thing. Cognitive Psychologists Consider Stereotypes To Be Energy-saving Devices That Allow Us To Make Efficient Decisions On The Basis Of Past Experience; Help Us Quickly Process New Information And Retrieve Memories; Make Sense Of Real Differences Between Groups; And Predict, Often With Considerable Accuracy, How Others Will Behave Or How They Think.24 We Wisely Rely On Stereotypes And The Quick Information They Give Us To Avoid Danger, Approach Possible New Friends, Choose One School Or Job Over Another, Or Decide That That Person Across This Crowded Room Will Be The Love Of Our Lives.
