Полово-ролеви, етнически и социалногрупови стереотипи в ранна зряла възраст
Sex-role, ethnic and social-group stereotypes of young adults

Summary/Abstract: The study presents the results of a survey of the relationship between sex-role stereotypes and young Bulgarians’ perceptions of the various ethnic and social groups. The research was done in the end of 2004 with about 400 students with different majors. The model of mixed stereotypes is confirmed: it is the result of historic and social circumstances but on the level of critical dimensions (competency, warmth, status, and competitiveness) they are based on the variables which have interested researchers of prejudices for a long time. The link which has been registered by S. Fiske et al. is observed, too: respondents’ own group is perceived as competent while the out-group is seen as warm but not so competent. The specific result for Bulgarian culture is that ethnic Bulgarians are not identified as competitive in the same extent as the other groups.
