====The Tenacity and Self-Fulfilling Character of Social Stereotypes====
*Stereotypes are resistant to attempts to change them and last a long time
*Providing counter examples (ex. token women engineer) can cause more stereotyping, not less. People are more likely to attribute that token’s success to their individual meritorious qualities in spite of group identity
*Being a token can result in underperformance of the token because of self-consciousness 
*Stereotypes can bias memory so one recalls stereotype-confirming information or filter new information intake to only stereotype-confirming information
* '''Critique: research has done little to figure out how institutional discrimination occurs by focusing on individual cognitive processes'''
