Answer to Question 1
Employees have to guard against thinking stereotypically about different types of organizational members.

Answer to Question 2
When we rely on experiences and the knowledge we have gathered from a variety of sources to interpret and make sense of any new person or situation we encounter, we are using schemas.

By selecting sensory input consistent with existing schemas and discounting or ignoring inconsistent input, schemas are reinforced and strengthened. Although schemas are resistant to change, they are not immutable.
