Description
This module introduces the concept and consequences of metastereotypes (one's beliefs regarding the stereotype that out-group members hold about one’s own group) in the workplace. In the activity, groups of students try to guess the #1 trait identified by 100 random Americans for three identities: Under 30, Instructors of Diversity Training, and Women Managers. While the activity provides answers for these three identities, we have included instructions for how to conduct surveys for other identities that instructors may want to explore. The activity allows participants to understand if they expect others to hold positive, negative, or neutral stereotypes about themselves. The accompanying discussion encourages participants to consider how metastereotypes affect their own actions in unintended ways.
