National character stereotypes are widely shared, but do not reflect assessed levels of personality traits. In this article we present data illustrating the divergence of stereotypes and assessed personality traits in north and south Italy, test hypotheses about the associations of temperature and national wealth with national character stereotypes in 49 cultures, and explore possible links to national values and beliefs. Results suggest that warmth and wealth are common determinants of national stereotypes, but that there are also idiosyncratic influences on the perceptions of individual nations.
国民性格刻板印象广泛存在,但并不反映所评估的人格特质水平。在本文中,我们展示了说明意大利北部和南部刻板印象与所评估的人格特质差异的数据,检验了关于49种文化中温度和国家财富与国民性格刻板印象之间关联的假设,并探讨了与国家价值观和信仰的可能联系。结果表明,温暖和财富是国民刻板印象的常见决定因素,但对各个国家的认知也存在独特影响。
