Identify two stereotypes about a specific religion or faith.

Compare and contrast the stereotypes and their effects on the subjects of the stereotypes.

describe a design for a research study related to your specialization (psychological research) that investigates an issue related to a stereotype or is counter to a stereotype. You may investigate anything related to the faith or religion, and stereotypes. For example, if you were a chemical dependency counselor, you might investigate alcoholism in Jewish Americans.

• Explain, briefly, what your research study plans to investigate and why this is important.
• Articulate the cultural biases that may surface in your research and how you will manage or avoid them.
• Explain how will you recruit participants.
• Discern the types of research biases you will want to avoid in the study.
• What are stereotypes in religion?
  Stereotypes about religion may tie the practice of certain faith traditions or beliefs to violence. These stereotypes erase the peaceful practice and beliefs of different faith traditions. The most obvious example of this occurs when Muslim characters are shown in roles linked with terrorism and violence.
