“Stereotype Accuracy: One of the Largest and Most Replicable Effects in All of Social Psychology”, 2016 (; similar):
Stereotype accuracy is one of the largest and most replicable effects in all of social psychology. It took social psychology nearly a century to recognize that not only had it been declaring stereotypes to be inaccurate on the basis of little data, but once the data started to come in, to accept that this data often (though not always) demonstrated moderate to high stereotype accuracy. This resistance to the data has constituted a substantial impediment to understanding the existence, causes, and consequences of both stereotype accuracy and inaccuracy.
…This chapter discusses stereotype accuracy as one of the largest and most replicable effects in all of social psychology. This chapter is divided into three major sections. The first, “History of Obstacles to Social Psychology Accepting Its Own Data on Stereotype Accuracy”, reviews some of the obstacles social psychology has faced with respect to accepting that stereotype (in)accuracy is an empirical question, and that the empirical data do not justify assumptions, definitions, or declarations that stereotypes are inaccurate. The second, “The Empirical Assessment of Stereotype (In)Accuracy”, summarizes what is now an impressive body of literature assessing the (in)accuracy of racial, gender, age, national, ethnic, political, and other stereotypes. The third, “Stereotype (In)Accuracy: Knowns, Unknowns, and Emerging Controversies”, summarizes broad and emerging patterns in that body of literature, highlighting unresolved controversies, and identifying important directions for future research.
