The topic of the following questionnaire is cultural generalizations and stereotypes. Cultural generalizations are a type of hypothesis, or guess, of what we expect to encounter when we interact with a certain culture. Cultural generalizations allow for individual difference and help build cultural awareness. A cultural generalization is a statement about a group of people. A cultural generalization may become a stereotype if it is definitively applied to individual members of the group. Cultural stereotypes tend to be more negative than generalizations. Also, they are typically inflexible and resistant to new information. They can, and often do, lead to prejudice and intentional or unintentional discrimination.
