Project Summary: The chapter discusses stereotypes and describes how they are formed and maintained. Watch the 60 Minutes interview of NBA player Jeremy Lin, in a segment titled Linsanity: Jeremy Lin's Rise to Stardom. In the 12-minute video that aired in April of 2013, Jeremy contends that one of the reasons he was overlooked as a college basketball recruit and in the NBA draft is that he did not meet the stereotypes of what a basketball player should be. Specifically, he contends that scouts overlooked him because he was Asian-American and perhaps because he was intelligent. The interview is currently available at: http://www.cbsnews.com/news/linsanity-jeremy-lins-rise-to-stardom/ After viewing the interview, answer this question: Why is it often difficult to see beyond stereotypes when interacting with individuals? Post your answer in the Discussion Board labeled Stereotypes by the normal deadline. Clark, K. (2015, January 23). Patriots Brady, Belichick deny deflating footballs. Wall Street Journal Online.

Do you assign an external or an internal cause as the reason why the Patriots footballs were underinflated for the game? Why? 2. Does the fact that it was 11 of 12 balls rather than 1 or 2 balls change your attribution process? Why or why not? 3. Does the fact that the Patriots were previously accused of cheating back in 2007 by illegally taping sideline defensive signals from the other teams coaches change your attribution process? Why or why not?
