Problem: What is a good peer response to this?
List and discuss three shortcuts frequently used in judging others.
Judgement is the ability to make considered decisions or come to sensible conclusions. There are good and bad judgement that can take place in the workplace. Three shortcuts frequently used in judging others are: Stereotyping, assumed similarity and selectivity. Stereotyping is when people judge others on the basis of their perception of a group to which the others belong. It may result in distorted judgments because many stereotypes have no factual foundation. Assumed similarity is when people assume that others are like them. So at times, it may fail to take into account individual differences, resulting in incorrect similarities. Lastly, there is selectivity, which is when people assimilate certain bits and pieces of what they observe depending on their interests, background, experience, and attitudes. The distortion with this is often called "speed reading". This can result in an inaccurate picture of the other person.
