“…This decision was made based on previous research where it was found that mentioning an associatively related target concept (but not the stereotypical attribute itself) can still prime stereotypes (Dixon, 2006). By utilizing non-FPÖ control posters, we avoided problems regarding the interpretation of our findings.…”

Abstract. We investigated the effects of antiforeigner political advertisements on implicit and explicit stereotypes. While stereotypical associations may become automatically activated (implicit stereotypes), individuals can reject these thoughts and decide not to use them for an overtly expressed judgment (explicit stereotypes). We hypothesized that even if citizens negated stereotypical content, advertisements might still affect implicit stereotypes. This hypothesis was tested using an experiment where participants (N = 186) were exposed to zero, two, four, or six stereotypical advertisements. The results showed that stereotypical advertisements did not influence explicit stereotypes but did influence implicit stereotypes, even in critical recipients who negated the stereotypical content.

“…Research has shown that regular exposure to media stereotypes may thus contribute to the development (i.e., forming) of stereotypical memory traces; once developed, such traces can be re-activated (i.e. primed) by subsequent, albeit brief, exposure (see Dixon, 2006;Kühne, Schemer, Matthes, & Wirth, 2011).…”

“…Thus, information via the mass media might be a breakthrough in contributing to studies on stereotype change, as the media are good at manifesting stereotypes. There are a several studies that provide evidence about stereotypes in media portrayal that significantly influence viewers and subsequently judgments of target groups (e.g., Dixon, 2006).…”

I n order to check whether (un)civilised behaviour can be a valid indigenous intergroup comparison dimension for Chinese people, three studies were conducted based on stereotypic explanatory bias (SEB). Study 1 examined the media representation of Chinese and Western (un)civilised behaviours, and the SEB results suggested ingroup derogation of Chinese people regarding civilised behaviour. Study 2 aimed to use a more empirical approach to further analyse Chinese intergroup bias for civilised behaviour at both implicit and explicit levels. Chinese participants' SEB results indicated ingroup derogation and outgroup favouritism were at the implicit level; however, ingroup favouritism and outgroup derogation were at the explicit level. Study 3 was designed to examine how stereotypes that were verified in Study 2 would be changed by manipulating the presentation of extreme, stereotype-relevant information in the form of an internet blog. These findings suggest that (un)civilised behaviour can be a valid indigenous intergroup comparison dimension for Chinese people who perceive themselves as a disadvantaged group compared to Westerners on this dimension. Finally, theoretical contribution and practical implications for social change are discussed.
