  3. Adaptation of Personal Stereotypes Personal and Cultural Stereotypes

  4. Personal and Cultural Stereotypes Beliefs about characteristics, attributes of people Hilton & Hippel, 1996 Personal – subjective to each individual Devine, 1989 Cultural – culturally embedded Devine, 1989

  5. Adaptation of Personal Stereotypes Personal and Cultural Stereotypes Culture and Stereotypes

  6. Culture System of meanings and behavioral tendencies cf. Baldwin et al., 2006 Socially shared cf. Baldwin et al., 2006 Influences cognition and behavior Gelfand et al., 2011; Kitayama & Uskul, 2011; etc.

  7. Adaptation of Personal Stereotypes Personal and Cultural Stereotypes Culture and Stereotypes Framework: The Stereotype Content Model

  8. Framework: The Stereotype Content Model Fiske, Cuddy, Glick, & Xu, 2002, Fig. 1, p. 885

  9. Adaptation of Personal Stereotypes Personal and Cultural Stereotypes Culture and Stereotypes Framework: The Stereotype Content Model Acculturation and Adaptation

  10. Acculturation and Adaptation Acculturaration – a process of experiencing home and host culture Sam & Berry, 2006 Adaptation - a successful integration in host society Searle & Ward, 1990 Mechanism of adaptation - desire to solve discrepancies Searle & Ward, 1990

  11. Adaptation of Personal Stereotypes Personal and Cultural Stereotypes Culture and Stereotypes Framework: The Stereotype Content Model Acculturation and Adaptation Culture Learning

  12. Culture Learning Approach Migrants are (can be) unaware of appropriate stereotype in host societies There can be a discrepancy between one’s personal stereotype and the cultural stereotypes A process of learning about cultural stereotypes Crisp & Turner, 2011

  13. Adaptation of Personal Stereotypes Personal and Cultural Stereotypes Culture and Stereotypes Framework: The Stereotype Content Model Acculturation and Adaptation Culture Learning Mechanisms of Adaptation Prerequisites for Adaptation

  14. Prerequisites of Adaptation Prior existence of a stereotype Evident differences in cultural stereotypes between home and host societies

  15. Prerequisites of Adaptation:1. Prior existence of a stereotype Stanciu, Cohrs, Hanke, & Gavreliuc, manuscript under review

  29. Research Suggestions Stanciu & Vauclair, manuscript in preparation

  30. Research Suggestions One size fits all? Public vs. Private life domains ~ Informative vs. Normative Adaptation Adaptation ~ an optimistic trend? Sub-cultural stereotypes rather than cultural stereotypes? Is behavior adaptation mediated by stereotype adaptation?

  31. Statement In the context of today’s migration, where extreme right wing visibility is on the rise, the political actors and members of societies with incoming migration need to have, more than ever before, an unbiased understanding of culture differences. A systematic understanding that social interactions are governed by stereotypes, and that stereotypes are largely shaped by culture norms, may help in shifting the public discourse from blaming and ostracizing migrants to initiatives of encouraging a dynamic exchange of culture information. On the one hand, there can be a number of factors that educational strategies can tackle in order to develop an environment where migrants can learn what stereotypes are normative in the host society. Ideally, this will ameliorate perceptions that how migrants relate to specific social groups are peculiar. On the other hand, this is an implicit reiteration about the benefits of multiculturalism. The experience of varying cultures can be one route towards deconstructing negative stereotypes, and emphasizing positive stereotypes.
