Abstract

In this work, we try to define the stereotype notion. In this field, the littérature scrutiny lets appear two important current in the research. Asociological current which seems to be in continuity with the medical using term, dating back XlXth century. In this tradition the stereotype looks like pathological : pathology of the group, but sometimes of the stereotyped peoples. The second current is more experimentalist. It considers that the stereoped peoples are not pathological, the stereotype normaly follow from the way by the people deal with information, for exemple the putting into place of illusory correlation into Hamilton (1981) or perceptive bias from wich Tajfel and al. of Bristol school theorize. .
