Which section of the article highlights the idea that personal reflection might help individuals realize that stereotypes are not valid?

Social science research powerfully demonstrates how stereotypes, even those that people are not consciously aware of, can influence the careers of women and minorities. For example, people rate the quality of a scientific paper differently depending on whether they think a man or a woman wrote it. Stereotypes also reduce the self-esteem, motivation, and intellectual performance of women and minorities through a process called stereotype threat. Stereotype threat reduces performance in situations where an individual might confirm a negative stereotype about his or her group. In one example, researchers found that African-American college students performed worse on an SAT test when the students had been told that the test is a valid measure of intelligence.

Stereotypes are those beliefs, usually untrue that are widely held by people of a community or social group about the way things should occur.

As a result of this, there are different forms through which stereotypes come, which includes:

Sex
Gender
Race
Age
Culture, etc

With this in mind, if a person has personal reflections , he would realise that a stereotype is not always true, because the action of a few people cannot be used to judge everyone of the same social class or group.
