Abstract
Zusammenfassung: In zwei Untersuchungen gingen wir der Frage nach, was die Inhalte stereotypen Wissens über in Deutschland lebende Türken und Deutsche sind, und ob diese Stereotype automatisch aktiviert werden. In der ersten Untersuchung befragten wir deutsche ProbandInnen (n = 20) über ihr Wissen zu kulturellen Stereotypen über Türken und Deutsche. Die ProbandInnen generierten zwar gleich viele negative Aussagen über das deutsche und türkische Stereotyp, aber deutlich weniger positive Aussagen über das türkische Stereotyp. In der zweiten Untersuchung überprüften wir die automatische Aktivierbarkeit der Kategorien «türkisch» und «deutsch» in einer Priming-Anordnung. ProbandInnen (n = 18) beurteilten türkische und deutsche Vornamen, nachdem zuvor ein mit dem jeweiligen Stereotyp konsistenter oder inkonsistenter Prime vorgegeben worden war. Die Vorgabe konsistenter Primes führte zu einer Beschleunigung der Reaktionszeiten. Die Ergebnisse unterstützen die Hypothese, daß die sozialen Kategorien «Türkisch» und «Deutsch» durch assoziierte Attribute automatisch aktiviert werden.
Summary: In two studies we examined stereotypes about Germans and Turks residing in Germany and whether these stereotypes are activated automatically. In the first study we asked German participants (n = 20) to report their knowledge of stereotypes about Turks and Germans. Although they generated the same amount of negative statements about the Turkish and German stereotype, they generated significantly less positive statements about the Turkish stereotype. In a second study we used a priming procedure to examine whether the social categories Turkish and German are activated automatically. Participants (n = 18) judged Turkish and German first names according to nationality after they had seen a consistent or inconsistent prime. Consistent primes led to shorter reaction times. The results are consistent with the hypothesis that the social categories Turkish and German are activated automatically by attributes that are associated with the stereotype.
