Since the late 18th century, when they first entered into an alliance during the American Revolution, the French and Americans have had a long and sometimes stormy relationship based on a complex mix of mutual admiration, cultural criticism, and sometimes downright disgust for the “other.” The relatively new interdisciplinary field of imagology, or image studies, allows us to place the dynamics of such a relationship into perspective by grounding its analysis firmly in the study of national stereotypes, in the process providing new insights into the mentality of the observer. For if anything, image studies demonstrate again and again that national character is not–as assumed uncritically for centuries–an innate essence of the “other”, but rather a self-serving functional construct of the observer.

This book provides current research on misperceptions, perspectives, and the role of social media on stereotypes and stereotyping. The first chapter assesses implicit and explicit attitudes toward high socioeconomic status (SES) students and links these attitudes to the achievement and personality judgments of a high and a low SES student. Chapter Two reviews current national trends and interdisciplinary research in psychology, sociology, and education documenting educational disparities related to students' gender, race and ethnicity, social class, and college generational status. Chapter Three discusses stereotypes towards people with AIDs in college students. Chapter Four examines if college women's social media usage predicts how they budget their time regarding physical appearance and academic work while in school, and also examines if it predicts their perceptions of the relative importance of appearance related behaviors and domain specific skills for their future careers. Chapter Five studies demographic differences in the level of intercultural sensitivity, EFL interests, and ethnocentrism among college students in Taiwan. Chapter Six uses psychological theories and findings to identify and analyse factors that may have contributed to the deaths in the three shootings of Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, and Tamir Rice. It considers the roles that physical appearance and shooter bias may have played in all three cases. Chapter Seven evaluates stereotypes in counter-stereotypic occupations. Chapter Eight provides an overview of the current research on the accuracy of national stereotypes and introduce results of a research project on national stereotypes in five Central European countries. Chapter Nine reviews the roles of identity processing styles and self-consciousness in aging and ageism.

Seminar paper from the year 2003 in the subject Business economics - Offline Marketing and Online Marketing, grade: 1,5 (A), University of Lincoln (International Business Administration), language: English, abstract: Where do stereotypes come from? Can stereotypes be changed? Do stereotypes represent a culture? Streotypes – structured sets of beliefs about the characteristics of members of social categories – influence how people attend to, encode, represent and retrieve information about others and how they judge and respond to them. We develop stereotypes when we are unable or unwilling to obtain all of the information we would need to make fair judgement about people or situations. In the absence of the “total picture“, stereotypes in many cases allow us to “fill in the blanks“. Society often innocently creates and persuates stereotypes. Can they lead to unfair discrimination or even persuation when they are unfavorable? This assignment will give a comprehensive overview of the term – stereotype – in general and highlight the approach to the common german stereotype integrating wether this stereotype provides an accurate picture of the german people or remains a generalization which is not representative.

The articulation of collective identity by means of a stereotyped repertoire of exclusionary characterizations of Self and Other is one of the longest-standing literary traditions in Europe and as such has become part of a global modernity. Recently, this discourse of Othering and national stereotyping has gained fresh political virulence as a result of the rise of “Identity Politics”. What is more, this newly politicized self/other discourse has affected Europe itself as that continent has been weathering a series of economic and political crises in recent years. The present volume traces the conjunction between cultural and literary traditions and contemporary ideologies during the crisis of European multilateralism.

Seminar paper from the year 2007 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 2,0, University of Marburg (Angelistik/Amerikanistik), course: Transatlantic Stereotyping - Views from/about Both Sides of the Ocean, 9 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: The first time I took notice of David Lodge's novels was in this seminar. While reading the novel Changing Places (1965) I liked his gift of making use of national stereotypes in a witty way that never seemed gross and made me reflect about the characters in spite of their comic effect. Furthermore, I particularly liked Lodge's way of working historical events into his novels. When I came across the novel Out of the Shelter (1970, 1984) I chose it as a topic for my term paper because I felt it was interesting to observe how a foreign author makes use of stereotypes of my own nationality. The Bildungsroman Out of the Shelter belongs to the early novels written by David Lodge. Lodge, as a professor of Modern English literature since 1976, is a very versatile author. Furthermore, he published works of literary theory, such as Working with Structualism (1981) or novels, e.g., The British Museum is Falling Down (1965) or the satirical two campus novel Changing Places (1965). The novel Out of the Shelter is mainly set in occupied Heidelberg (West Germany) where the protagonist, the 16 years old Briton Timothy Young, visits his sister who works for the US-Army as a civilian secretary. This "international theme" is well suited for examining how the author makes use of national stereotypes and symbolism. But what must be seen as a stereotype in this novel? The Collins dictionary defines a stereotype as ..".simplistic generalizations about a group that allows others to categorize them and treat them accordingly...." For this novel not only the question if the characters are stereotypes is informative, but also if there is made use of stereotypes in the character constellation and if

Essay from the year 2011 in the subject Communications - Intercultural Communication, grade: Distinction, University of Newcastle upon Tyne (Education, Communication and Language Sciences), course: Language and Cross-Cultural Communication, language: English, abstract: This paper attempts to describe the nature of common preconceptions, i.e. stereotypes, including concepts such as otherisation, prejudice and discrimination, how they influence communication and how they are created and reinforced by the media. Specific media examples are used for illustration. The question is asked whether stereotyping is an inevitable process or whether it can be avoided. It is discussed whether stereotypes ought to be seen as a positive or negative influence on intercultural communication. Finally, the essay attempts to determine the role stereotypes play in the study of intercultural communication. Some approaches to communication studies seek to discover average tendencies in national cultures, which can lead to similar categorisations and simplifications as in the process of stereotyping. The validity of such an approach is evaluated and the conclusion is reached that stereotypes and categorisations are necessary to a certain degree as a sense-making device, but should at the same time be regarded with great caution.

Multinational companies often make use of country stereotypes in their marketing efforts. Volkswagen used the tagline "That's the power of German engineering" to utilize the positive stereotype of German efficiency as well as its positive country image. Academic research has recognized the importance of the country of origin cue (COO) in consumer decision making but research addressing the use national stereotypes as an antecedent to COO evaluation is relatively sparse.The stereotype content model (SCM) contends that national stereotypes describe traits associated with a group of people through the dimensions of competence and warmth. Existing research on the antecedents of the COO effect has not appropriately partitioned the construct into the country image and product country image even though the constructs have been used separately in the research. Therefore, our research proposes the dimensions of competence and warmth as the drivers of country of origin evaluation at two levels, the general macro level (country image), and the micro level (product country image). This dissertation uncovers the drivers of a decomposed country of origin construct primarily within the context of inter-group relations. Moreover, this dissertation uses personal and consumer values to investigate the context under which stereotypes enhance or diminish COO evaluation as moderators. Social identity theory and consumer culture theory are adopted to show how group level identification affects the use of national stereotypes in COO evaluation. The distinction between in-groups and out-groups is a key driver of COO evaluation. We collected data on the perception of the image of two emerging economies, India and China. Stereotypes of competence are more likely to be generalized to the image of the country as a source of production. Stereotypes of warmth are a key driver of a general image of the country. We found that the insignificant relationship between perceived warmth and COO evaluation can be explained by a mediating role of macro image between perceived warmth and product related micro image and product evaluation. We also found that national identity and consumer ethnocentrism had a contrasting moderating effect on the relationship between national stereotypes and COO evaluation.

How do national stereotypes emerge? To which extent are they determined by historical or ideological circumstances, or else by cultural, literary or discursive conventions? This first inclusive critical compendium on national characterizations and national (cultural or ethnic) stereotypes contains 120 articles by 73 contributors. Its three parts offer [1] a number of in-depth survey articles on ethnic and national images in European literatures and cultures over many centuries; [2] an encyclopedic survey of the stereotypes and characterizations traditionally ascribed to various ethnicities and nationalities; and [3] a conspectus of relevant concepts in various cultural fields and scholarly disciplines. The volume as a whole, as well as each of the articles, has extensive bibliographies for further critical reading. Imagologyis intended both for students and for senior scholars, facilitating not only a first acquaintance with the historical development, typology and poetics of national stereotypes, but also a deepening of our understanding and analytical perspective by interdisciplinary and comparative contextualization and extensive cross-referencing.
