Explanation:

1. The first statement reflects people assuming a tall African American likes basketball, which is a widely held oversimplified belief about a group, matching Stereotypes.
2. Mary's varying talkativeness depends on the topic, showing she engages more with topics she cares about, matching Interest.
3. The speaker is confident they will succeed in the game, stating a desired outcome they anticipate, matching Expectations.
4. The assumption that a friend will agree is based on liking the person, matching Like me.
5. George ignores others' input and relies on his own assumptions of their wants, which aligns with failing to consider others' perspectives, but more directly, this relates to not engaging with alternative views, and the remaining fitting term is Frame of reference (his own narrow frame guides his actions).
6. Management and the union each view issues only from their own position, which is a limited Frame of reference (their own perspective shapes how they see the conflict).
7. Joan is being told she is ignoring facts, meaning she is avoiding information that does not align with her existing views, matching Selective exposure.
