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

  1. Discrimination
  2. Misrepresentation
  3. Stereotyping
  4. None of the above
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 clinical social worker has organized in his thinking to save time when predicting a social environment.
