“…Yet, most often, relying on stereotypes, we overestimate the common features of a certain group, do not estimate individual differences, and do so automatically without thinking (Gudonienė, 2013, p. 74). Jenifer and Raman (2015) state that stereotypes are born out of a fear of the group we are stereotyping or a lack of knowledge about that group. Seeger and Gustafsson (2021, p. 7) note that stereotypes create a wealth of problems that are difficult to solve because they exist below the level of consciousness.…”

Intercultural stereotypes often lead to misunderstandings or even cultural conflicts in communication, as they interfere with the rational assessment of individuals from one national culture and the products, perspectives and practices associated with them. Although there is a considerable literature on stereotypes in general and on intercultural stereotypes in particular, there is clearly insufficient scholarly works to provide concrete and conceptual insights into how to minimise or overcome stereotypical attitudes in practice. For example, the role of critical and creative thinking in the process of devisualisation of stereotypes has not been adequately assessed in the academic literature. Researchers have so far paid little attention for it in their works. This work aims to fill the aforementioned gaps in the scientific discourse. The object of this article is intercultural stereotypes in the context of the link between critical and creative thinking. The aim of the article is to analyse the theoretical aspects of intercultural stereotypes and the role of critical and creative thinking in overcoming them. The work first analyses the theoretical aspects of stereotypes in the context of intercultural communication, and then examines the nuances of the role of critical and creative thinking in overcoming intercultural stereotypes. The role of critical and creative thinking in the process of overcoming intercultural stereotypes is explored by discussing the link between critical and creative thinking, as well as the importance of the application of teaching methods for critical and creative thinking skills in the process of devisualisation of stereotypes. The following research methods are used in order to implement the aim of the article: analysis and synthesis of scientific literature.

“…Unfortunately, a range of barriers might happen when communicating with people from other cultures, such as stereotyping, perception, attitude, culture shock, physical aspect, motivation, split of attention, emotion, language, non-verbal message, communication media and filtering. Stereotyping is valuing judgment about people (Braslauskas, 2020;Jenifer & Raman, 2015), while perception is viewing what is said from one's own mindset (Lázár, 2017). Attitude is a guide to general thinking and one's views of life (Tuleja, 2022).…”

Effective communication is necessary at work, especially when it involves different cultures. To avoid cultural conflicts, parties involved in communication should realize the barriers hindering the communication process. This research explored and mapped the upward intercultural communication barriers within multinational companies in Indonesia and the factors contributing to those barriers. This qualitative research involves 16 employees from nine multinational companies as informants. In this research, the superiors and the subordinates are from different cultural backgrounds. The informants of this study were selected through a snowball approach, starting at several companies in an industrial area in Central Java. The informants were contacted and given several questions such as age, length of employment, and superior’s characteristics as a control variable. The next step was an interview of informants using open-ended interview guides. For triangulation, after all the interviews, FGDs were held two times, and last, for confirmation, the informants were asked to comment on or revise the data. The general barriers found in this research were semantics (in terms of language), physical (in terms of physical distance), and contextual (in terms of working system disapproval). The factors contributing to those barriers are stereotypes, perceptions, and educational backgrounds and experiences.
