构建了一个社会认知模型，分析影响刻板印象准确性的因素，并以性别刻板印象为例说明如何修正，为管理者提供提升组织决策效率的指导。
Organizations experience high levels of inefficiency when decisions are based on inaccurate stereotypes. As humans are dependent upon stereotypes in their daily information processing, a critical issue is the identification of conditions that produce more accurate stereotypes. This article delineates a social cognition model of stereotyping and identifies thefactors involved in developing more accurate stereotypes. The model is applied to gender stereotypes to indicate how these stereotypes may be modified. Managerial implications and future research issues are identified with the anticipation that these ideas will provide guidelines as to how to stimulate more accurate stereotypes in organizations.
