CONTENTS OF NATION STEREOTYPES: RELATIONSHIPS OF STEREOTYPE CONTENTS WITH SOCIAL-STRUCTURAL PREDICTORS AND IDENTIFICATION

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the study was to investigate contents of nation stereotypes in relation with social-structural variables and national identification. In the pilot study, 42 participants identified at most 10 nations that are salient in Turkish society, and rated them in terms of similarity, friendship and likeability. In the main study, 205 university students were asked to evaluate 17 nations (including Turks) obtained in the pilot study, and their level of national identification was measured. Results showed that national stereotypes (1) contained competence, warmth and derogation dimensions, (2) they clustered in four categories on competenceXwarmth space, and (3) many of them had mixed contents. Even though status and competence; and competition and (lack of) warmth were related, participants’ stereotypical attributions reflected identity concerns, such that nations rated as higher than the ingroup (i.e. Turks) on competence were all rated lower on warmth. Findings were discussed in line with stereotype content model and social identity theory.
