Solution

Stereotypes are the beliefs about what members of groups are like.

Explanation:

Stereotypes are general beliefs about the characteristics, behaviour or abilities of members of particular groups. They simplify social information by placing people into categories, but they may also produce inaccurate judgments because they overlook individual differences and treat all group members as if they were alike.
