Question 2 of 10 Jack thinks all people from the Middle East are terrorists. This is an example of: A. type matching B. discrimination C. stereotype D. social cognition

The correct answer is:<br /><br />**C. stereotype.**<br /><br />### Explanation:<br />A **stereotype** is a generalized belief or assumption about a group of people, often oversimplified and not based on individual characteristics or evidence. In this case, Jack's belief that all people from the Middle East are terrorists is an example of stereotyping because it applies a broad and inaccurate generalization to an entire group of people.<br /><br />- **Type matching (A):** This is not relevant in this context.<br />- **Discrimination (B):** Discrimination refers to actions or behaviors that treat people unfairly based on their group membership. While stereotypes can lead to discrimination, the question describes a belief, not an action.<br />- **Social cognition (D):** Social cognition refers to how people process and understand social information, but it does not specifically describe the act of stereotyping.
