schemas
perception checking
media effects
prejudice
socialization

Explanation:

Schemas are cognitive frameworks that influence perception. Here, preconceived notions about who gets AIDS (perhaps associating it more with certain demographics) led to surprise. Perception - checking is about verifying perceptions, media effects relate to media influence, prejudice is a negative attitude, and socialization is the process of learning social norms. The surprise indicates a schema - based misperception.
