Discussing the formation of negative stereotypes.

Hi this is for my multicultural psychology class. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

spend some time discussing the formation of negative stereotypes.  How does their explanation account for the development of stereotype threat?  identify three specific factors that may contribute: Illusory correlation, availability heuristic and cognitive dissonance.

Please make sure to include one of these factors in your explanation of the development of stereotype threat.  Share your ideas with one another.
