My first encounter with the concept “stereotype” was during my final oral exam in social psychology at the University of Tübingen, when Professor Wilhelm Witte asked me what I knew about it. In those days, the psychology training for us ten psychology students was a bit patchy. On the positive side, Witte gave an excellent lecture series on experimental psychology, and we had required courses on the anatomy of the central nervous system and in philosophy. But all other topics were taught by adjunct faculty from nearby pedagogical institutes. For social psychology we had a seminar on group dynamics, and attitudes seemed to have played no role in group dynamics. Witte kindly informed me that attitudes were considered major determinants of social behavior.
