Does cultural diversity reflect differences in people living in distinct countries? The case of national stereotypes in Central Europe

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The chapter introduces research on sources of cultural diversity. We investigated whether perceived diversity in Central Europe corresponds to actual differences between people from central European countries. Cultural diversity in our study was represented by beliefs about characteristics typical for citizens of one’s own country – national stereotypes. 2241 participants from Austria, the Czech Republic, Germany, Poland and Slovakia rated national stereotypes of their own country. We used existing data from 17377 participants from the five countries who rated their own personality or personality of their significant others. While national stereotypes clearly differentiated between typical representatives of central European countries, the personality profiles of their inhabitants showed remarkable resemblance. Based on the results of our research, we suggest that perceived diversity is a cultural construct serving people’s need for distinctiveness rather than a true difference in real people’s characteristics, at least in the studied area.n
