Preferred term

subtyping  

Definition

  • Definition Subtyping refers to a process whereby people come to view individuals who don't fit a stereotype as exceptions or as poor members of a group. The concept is important because it explains why people often do not change their stereotypes in the face of disconfirming information. [Source: Encyclopedia of Social Psychology; Subtyping]
