Answer 1

Beth's justification that Kim is an 'exception to the rule' after encountering contradictory evidence to her stereotype about sorority members illustrates the concept of subtyping.

Step-by-step explanation:

Beth's belief that all sorority members are unintelligent and self-centered, and her subsequent rationalization that Kim is 'the exception to the rule' after learning about her high GPA and volunteer work, is an example of subtyping. Subtyping is a cognitive process by which individuals maintain their stereotypes by categorizing exceptions as a separate subgroup. This allows the overall stereotype to remain unchallenged in their minds despite contradictory evidence.

Answer 2

Thus here when Beth gets to know about Kim, he said that she is is the exception to the rule which is the example of the sub typing in stereotyping.
