Abstract

Both the stereotype content model and intergroup image theory argue that the structural relationships among groups predict the stereotypes and images they hold about their out-groups. Using samples of Chinese and Japanese subjects, I found support for hypotheses derived from each theoretical framework. Structural variables predicted both simple stereotypes and more complex images of Korea, China, and Japan. Moreover, I found support for the possibility that the emotions that result from out-group stereotypes as suggested by the stereotype content model may define the details of the more elaborate out-group images. In line with the stereotype content model, I also found that the perception of out-group resources and power affects perceived competence of that outgroup, whereas perceived domination intent of an out-group affects the images of that out-group.
