Stereotypes can influence first impressions in many ways, and they can also cause problems. A stereotype is a strong idea about what a person is like based on one thing, such as the person's age, sex, race, or job. People usually learn stereotypes at a young age, with ideas they get from family members, friends, television, and movies. When people use stereotypes to form first impressions, they expect the person to behave a certain way because of the stereotype. For example, they expect a woman to be a good cook or a man to be strong. Because of their stereotypes, people may believe these attention to differences between people. As a result, things without they may be incorrect in their impressions. This can hurt a relationship.
