Answer:

Prejudice

Step-by-step explanation:

A prejudice is what we form about other people without really knowing them. That means that Brittany's idea about people with long hair was a prejudice, because she didn't know anybody who had that feature. When she happened to know somebody, she confirmed her prejudice.
