Definitions

1. Labels describing salient and stable characteristics of an individual, including your self.

Related Terms

Labels, symbols, stereotypes, and defining traits are all words that describe the symbols we use to think about people. While we use trait adjectives as labels for symbols to describe people, we use trait nouns as labels for symbols for people.

Benefits

Symbols are the fundamental mechanism our memories use to categorize and organize information. They are essential to the efficient operation of our enormous and flexible memory. These symbols become dangerous when we confuse them with the actual person, or if they are inaccurately assigned or interpreted.
