Alex is having lunch with other social work colleagues when one of them says he is late for a family assessment. Without much thought, the other professional states his clients live in a poor neighborhood and probably can't even tell time. What problem should be addressed?

  1. Discrimination
  2. Misrepresentation
  3. Stereotyping
  4. Competency
Explanation

Answer: C - Stereotyping is a preconceived notion pertaining to a group of individuals. In the situation with Alex, a fellow colleague appears to believe all poverty-level people are lacking in intelligence. This is a category the social worker has organized in his thinking to save time when predicting a social environment.
