Regional stereotypes do not reflect personality traits of real people
Original language description
The research compared profiles of personality traits based on ratings of regional stereotypes with self-ratings of real people. Altogether, 987 university students from different parts of the Czech Republic were asked to provide self-rating and to rate personality traits of a typical inhabitant of Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia. The results showed differences in ratings of a typical Czech, Moravian and Silesian. However, respondents from the three parts of the country agreed in their perception of the given regional stereotype. Personality traits of a typical Czech (inhabitant of Bohemia), Moravian and Silesian bore no resemblance with the Czech autostereotype (a typical representative of the Czech Republic).The comparison of regional stereotypes with self-report of real people revealed no convergence. The major conclusion from the study is that ratings of regional stereotypes, similarly to national stereotypes, do not correspond with ratings of real people.
