Content:
At the 1st GCOE International Workshop, we invited Dr. Victoria Yeung from the University of Melbourne. She is working on how culture and cultural dynamics affect the maintenance of stereotype with Dr. Yoshihisa Kashima. She presented her research which made the participants have stereotypes on a fictitious group and examined processes of maintenance of those stereotypes from the participant to another. Her results indicated that European-Australians showed more Stereotype Inconsistency Bias than did Asian-Australians, whereas Asian-Australians showed more Stereotype Consistency Bias than did European-Australians. So far, previous studies have suggested that there are two hypotheses for explaining this phenomenon: Informative Hypothesis and Communication Goal Hypothesis. Her resarch implied that Informative Hypothesis was promising.
