ATTRIBUTION OF STEREOTYPES TO REGIONAL GROUPS BY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CHILDREN
Abstract
The study was designed to investigate the stereotypes in
relation to people from Rio, São Paulo, Minas, the Northeast and Rio
Grande do Sul among 480 5th to 8th grade students from public and
private schools in Brasilia. The instrument included twelve different
traits (such as intelligent, happy, smart and honest). The students were
asked to give points from 1 to 5 to the different groups on each trait.
Different traits were more prominent in each group. It was also observed
that some of the stereotypes common among adults were present in this
sample, especially among the students from the later grades.
