Resumo: The present study examined the effect of group labels on social perception and helping behavioral intentions towards displaced people in Germany. Specifically, it examined whether activating different social categories to refer to displaced people impacts threat perceptions among host society members, as well as, their autonomy and dependency helping orientations towards the newcomers. Participants (N = 304) were randomly assigned to one of the three conditions (refugee vs. migrant vs. economic migrant) and read fabricated case vignettes, featuring a displaced person who arrived to Germany recently. Results indicate that, as predicted, the use of different group labels impacts stereotypes held by host society members, as well as their helping orientations. While the label refugees triggered paternalistic stereotypes and evoked dependency-oriented helping intentions, the label economic migrants elicited envious stereotypes and a decrease in help affirmation. Consequences and practical implications to strengthen peaceful intergroup relations between host society members and newcomers are discussed.

Especificamente, examinou se a ativação de diferentes categorias sociais na referência a pessoas deslocadas afeta a percepção de ameaça dos membros da sociedade de acolhimento, bem como as suas orientações de ajuda (autonomia vs. dependência) aos recém-chegados. Os participantes (N = 304) foram aleatoriamente distribuídos por três condições experimentais (refugiado vs. migrante vs. migrante económico) e leram as vinhetas de casos fabricados, sobre uma pessoa deslocada que chegou à Alemanha recentemente. Os resultados indicam que, como previsto, a utilização de rótulos de grupos diferentes afeta os estereótipos dos membros da sociedade acolhimento, bem como suas orientações de ajuda. Enquanto o rótulo de refugiados desencadeou estereótipos paternalistas e evocou intenções de ajuda orientadas para a dependência, o rótulo de migrantes económicos activou estereótipos invejosos e uma diminuição na afirmação de ajuda. São discutidas as consequências e implicações práticas para fortalecer relações intergrupais pacíficas entre membros da sociedade acolhimento e recém-chegados.2019-04-17T10:37:04Z2018-11-21T00:00:00Z2018-11-212018-09info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfapplication/octet-streamhttp://hdl.handle.net/10071/17870TID:202130886engWyszynski, Mia Carolineinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-11-09T17:43:45Zoai:repositorio.iscte-iul.pt:10071/17870Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T22:20:38.256271Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
