National income has a pervasive influence on the perception of ingroup stereotypes, with high status and wealthy targets perceived as more competent. In two studies we investigated the degree to which economic wealth of raters related to perceptions of outgroup competence. Raters' economic wealth predicted trait ratings when 1) raters in 48 other cultures rated Americans' competence and 2) Mexican Americans rated Anglo Americans' competence. Rater wealth also predicted ratings of interpersonal warmth on the culture level. In conclusion, raters' economic wealth, either nationally or individually, is significantly associated with perception of outgroup members, supporting the notion that ingroup conditions or stereotypes function as frames of reference in evaluating outgroup traits.
国民收入对群体内刻板印象的认知有着广泛影响,地位高且富有的人被认为更有能力。在两项研究中,我们调查了评分者的经济财富与对外群体能力认知之间的关联程度。评分者的经济财富能够预测特质评分,条件为:1)48个其他文化背景的评分者对美国人的能力进行评分;2)墨西哥裔美国人对英裔美国人的能力进行评分。评分者的财富在文化层面也能预测人际温暖程度的评分。总之,评分者的国家层面或个人层面的经济财富,都与对外群体成员的认知显著相关,这支持了群体内条件或刻板印象在评估外群体特质时作为参照框架的观点。
