Content: A mistaken belief such as this one can have serious consequences and can lead to a skewed view of oneself. On the other hand, an exaggerated view of self can also lead to problems. Social Impressions
These impressions refer to the beliefs that people have about others. These could be based on a one-time, previous experience (either negative or positive) that people have about others and form an opinion, which leads into forming a belief. These can be formed with just about any person. Naive Theories
These impressions are based on one’s belief about how the world works. Naive theories largely correspond with social theories―the belief about people, how they think, behave, and interact with others. These theories go on to include major stereotypes steeped in society that have to do with a number of issues about religion, teenagers, communities, professions, and other beliefs that may even include causes of war, what gives rise to poverty and violence, and the like.
