description We propose that individual differences in intergroup flexibility are associated with differences in the stereotypicality of views of certain groups. Intergroup flexibility refers to the tendency to recognize and respond to concurrent similarities and differences among diverse groups including one's own. Study 1 found significantly more of the characteristics listed about African Americans overlapped with the cultural stereotype for intergroup inflexible participants than for intergroup flexible participants. Study 2 revealed priming of category labels led inflexible participants to rate a target more stereotypically than flexible participants. Study 3 demonstrated that flexible people relative to inflexible people are not ignorant of the stereotype of African Americans.
