Abstract

This study examines which stereotypes are ascribed to Bosnians, Croats and Serbs by Germans. More than 1,800 Germans with an average age of 25.5 years took part in the survey. The survey was based on a stereotype check list with 140 items that Baur and Ossenberg had already tested with Russians and Turks. The results show that Germans see only minor differences between the three ethnic groups from former Yugoslavia. The authors therefore focus on and interpret these differences and argue that qualitative data should also be used to interpret these stereotypes.

Keywords

Ethnic stereotypes, Stereotypes to Bosnians/ Croatians/Serbs, Autostereotypes of Germans, Characteristics list procedure (stereotype check list)
