Stereotypes of Norwegian social groups

چکیده
We present a pilot study and two main studies that address the nature of stereotypes of social groups in Norway within the framework of the Stereotype Content Model (SCM). The first study focused on stereotypes of a wide range of groups across categories such as gender, age, religious conviction, socioeconomic and health status. The second study focused on stereotypes of immigrant groups. Participants (n = 244 and n = 63, respectively) rated the groups on perceived warmth, competence, status, and competition. Results from both studies support the applicability of the SCM in Norway and provides a unique insight into stereotypes of Norwegian social groups.

متن کاملThe spontaneous formation of stereotypes via cumulative cultural evolution.
All people share knowledge of cultural stereotypes of social groups--but what are the origins of these stereotypes?
