Abstract

This study examined the accuracy of meta-stereotypes (i.e., beliefs about how their ingroup is viewed by an outgroup), by comparing those with outgroup’s other-stereotypes (i.e., outgroup’s stereotype about ingroup). Korean and Japanese participants expressed their images of each other and predicted the outgroup members’ view of ingroup according to 88 personality traits. Results indicated that perceptions about how they were viewed by the other were inaccurate; furthermore, both groups’ predictions were identically more negative than their counterpart’s actual evaluations about them. The fact that both groups denoted the same tendency suggests the negative nature of meta-stereotypes over outgroup’s other-stereotypes.
