The statement that is true about stereotyping is the one that says people are less likely to use stereotypes to judge others when they encounter salient information that is highly inconsistent with a stereotype.

Option E

Explanation:

Stereotypes are usually based on past experiences and prejudiced information. These stereotypes often allow a person to make quick decisions about the topic that is subject to scrutiny by him.
