Answer: Stereotype

Explanation: A stereotype could be explained as a generalized conclusion made about individuals belonging to a particular group.

Stereotypes are over generalization or standardized belief derived from the assumption that a particular trait, personality, behavior or ability exhibited by one or some members of a particular group is prevalent in all members of the group or category. Stereotypes may result in social segmentation resulting from generalization made about a particular group based on certain traits.
