Explanation: this is how stereotype form:

Categorization

We first categorize people into certain groups based on certain criteria.

Inferences

We then infer certain traits that we believe people in that category possess.

Expectations

We form certain expectations of others and we tend to interpret those people based on our expectations or Stereotypes.

Maintenance

We maintain stereotypes by overestimating how frequently this stereotypic behavior is exhibited.

this null effect is caused by a weak manipulation and ineffective internal validity. in a scientific study, as the one dr. morimoto is trying to perfom, internal validity refers to the confidence placed in the cause-effect relationship and to how well an experiment is done and able to eliminate confounding variables.
