Answer: They are typically generalized and simplified notions about a group.

Explanation:

Stereotype is a general perspective that a group of people has the same characteristics or features and abilities which an individual possess. This can be due to sex, race, nationality and so on. Hence, this perspective or belief is overgeneralized because the fact that an individual has a certain characteristic does not mean other group members have it too.
