Estereotipos Sobre los Mapuches: Su Reciente Evolución

replicating and expanding a study by saiz (1991), we examined the evolution of the stereotypes that non-indigenous university students ascribe to two distinctive mapuche chronological categories: past and present.the content, favorability, salience, and uniformity of the stereotypes were analyzed. using a questionnaire, 407 participants assigned attributes to both mapuche categories. as expected, almost all the stereotypes replicated those reported by saiz (1991) and, at the same time, two new unfavorable stereotypes emerged.the persistence of stereotypes is discussed according to the process of subtyping and subgruping (richards & hewstone, 2001). the development of new stereotypes is analyzed from the realistic conflict theory perspective (campbell, 1965).
