Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question presents a scenario where Jason believes that all Asian people are good at math. 
This kind of belief illustrates a generalized, fixed idea about a group, which is the definition of a stereotype. 
A stereotype is a broad, oversimplified attribution about a group that ignores individual differences and often reinforces preconceptions.
In this case, the belief assigns a single characteristic (being good at math) to every member of the Asian demographic, without considering variation among individuals. 
Since the provided answer field lists the correct option as 'stereotype,' we can interpret that as the intended label for this phenomenon, reflecting the typical classification in social psychology.
Because there are no alternative options given in the answer_options field, there is no basis here to evaluate other potential classifications (e.g., prejudice, discrimination, bias, or generalization). 
If an expanded set of choices existed, we would compare the defining features of each concept: stereotype (cognitive belief about a group), prejudice (attitudinal or affective bias toward a group), discrimination (behavioral action toward a group), and generalization (drawing a broad conclusion from a few examples, which can be accurate or inaccurate depending on context).
