Авто- и гетеростереотипы тувинцев и коми: анализ соответствия

Abstract

The study of auto- and heterostereotypes of Tuvans and Komi was performed using a specially developed technique. The study conducted in the republics of Komi and Tuva, Russian Federation, involved 60 Komi and 130 Tuvans, respectively. Every participant was asked to perform a free classification of 36 psychological and behavioral traits, each represented by a separate card, relative to the proposed ethnic groups, in accordance with their ideas about these ethnic groups, as well as to characterize him/herself using the same characteristics. The data were processed using the correspondence analysis. The results signal the similarity of self-descriptions (self-image) and descriptions of their own ethnic group by the participants from Komi Republic, whereas significant differences were found in the self-descriptions and the descriptions of their own ethnic group by the Tuvans. We describe the “nuclear” characteristics of the Russian ethnos in the perception of the Tuvans and Komi. The results of the study of auto- and heterostereotypes of Komi and Tuvans can presumably be explained by the transformation of the ethno-cultural and socio-economic environment in the Republics of Komi and Tuva.
