Resumen

Este trabajo pretende aplicar y ampliar el Modelo del Contenido de los Estereotipos (MCE) en España, con el fin de conocer los estereotipos de una muestra de españoles sobre los tres principales grupos de inmigrantes en dicho país. Se incluyó la moralidad y la sociabilidad como dimensiones separadas, frente a la dimensión unitaria de calidez. Los participantes evaluaron a marroquíes (N = 140), rumanos (N = 134) y ecuatorianos (N = 139) en diferentes características (estereotipos), así como en el estatus y la competición con las que los percibían. Un Análisis Factorial Confirmatorio reveló que el modelo formado por tres dimensiones presentaba un mejor ajuste que otros modelos más sencillos, confirmando que moralidad, sociabilidad y competencia son dimensiones diferentes en la percepción exogrupal. Los resultados se discuten abordando la utilidad del MCE, considerando la dimensión de moralidad, y la ambivalencia de los estereotipos hacia diferentes grupos inmigrantes.

Abstract

This work aimed to apply and extend the Stereotype Content Model (SCM) in Spain, in order to identify Spanish participants' stereotypes about the three main immigrant groups in the country. This survey included morality and sociability as separate dimensions, instead of the unified warmth dimension. Participants assessed Moroccans (N = 140), Romanians (N = 134), and Ecuadorians (N = 139) on different traits (stereotypes), as well as the status and competition with which immigrants were perceived. A Confirmatory Factor Analysis revealed that the three-factor model fitted the data better than more parsimonious models. It confirmed that morality, sociability, and competence were distinct out-group dimensions. The results are discussed on the basis of the utility of the amplified SCM in Spain, highlighting the morality dimension, and the mixed stereotypes towards different immigrant groups.
