 Stereotyping 
Stereotyping kayan aiki ne na fahimi wanda ya haɗa da rarrabuwa zuwa ƙungiyoyi da ba da halaye ga waɗannan ƙungiyoyi. stereotypes suna da mahimmanci don sarrafa ɗimbin bayanai, waɗanda in ba haka ba za su yi nauyi ga mutum. Gabaɗaya ingantattun masu siffanta halayen rukuni ne, kodayake wasu ra'ayoyin ba daidai ba ne. However, they can cause harm when the content of the stereotype is incorrect concerning most of the group or where a stereotype held too heavily overrides evidence which shows that an individual does not conform to it. For example, age-based stereotypes may cause one to draw very different conclusions when one sees an older and a younger adult with, for example, back pain or a limp. Mutum na iya ɗauka cewa bayan wani haɗari, yanayin ƙarami na ɗan lokaci ne kuma za a iya magance shi, yayin da yanayin babban mutum ba shi da wuyar shiga tsakani.
