Of course, the answer to the puzzle js that the doctor ifhNe boy's mother. Im 1
experience, about half of the people who hear the *riddle immediately Eure it om
"The other half are confused at first mm large part because they TNCONSc iously assume
(hat doctors should be male. The dificulty of the puzzle is determimed large part by
gemder stereotypes that assign to all members of a social group (he characteristics that
3 shared by most of them In short stereotypes are generalizations.
We ea stereotypes from many sources incuding our families、 religion, schools 画
5 and (he media. For example, ,。a recent study analyzed *Drirme- ctimme commereials from
three major TV networks to see whether any change had occurred im the *representatson
of men and women since the 1980s. Authors of the study foumd Hittte change in the roles
mm which men and women were *cast, that is, they both remained within traditional
gender roles. Im addition, they found women appeared less often as primary characters
9 on most corumercials, except im ghose for beauty and health products.
The problems with stereotypes are that they are often too Sinple and they fail to 頭
ajow us to see people as individuals. In addition、 negative StereotYDes can shape our
behavior, as we assume certain things about people's abihities on the basis of our
generalizafions. We should, at all costs, avoid the risk of relying too heavily upon ihem
jp interpretimg our world.
