Role of Perceived Intergroup Difference on Stereotype Content

Abstract

People have a tendency to categorize others as ingroup or outgroup. Social psychology literature, attribute this distinction to similarity; people who are similar are thought to be ingroup and people who are different is thought to be outgroup. Similarly, people’s attitudes, perceptions and attributions towards others easily change depending on whether they are ingroup or outgroup. Moreover, studies investigating ethnic group relations showed that perceived intergroup difference is an important variable that influence stereotype content and other intercultural attitudes in European context. In this study, role of perceived intergroup difference on stereotype content is measured in a Turkish sample targeting three ethnic minorities (Circassian, Kurdish and Armenian). Results showed that, ethnic minorities studied in this paper, are definitely perceived differently from one another in terms of perceived intergroup difference. Turkish participants rated three ethnic groups as significantly different from themselves and also from one another. Moreover, there might be some credence to the idea of perceived intergroup difference having an influence on stereotype content since the outgroup that is rated as most similar (Circassian) was significantly rated higher on warmth and competence dimensions as compared to other outgroups.
