Stereotype Thinking

Cited from Colin Turner "If someone has more of something, then we have less. When a competitor enjoys success we feel cheated or that we have lost an opportunity – and certainly that there is now less. When an associate, friend, or even family member does well and receives an accolade, we may be delighted on the outside but secretly we are wishing it could have been us. This social paradigm causes us to see situations in win or lose, oe, at best, compromise terms. Our thinking is scripted into 'either/or', never 'and'; or, put simply, 'win/win'. We think this is too unrealistic even to be considered".
