Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the auto- and heterostereotypes of Estonians and Russians as communicators. A Communication Stereotypes Questionnaire was developed for this study. The results showed that the communication stereotypes varied essentially among Estonians and Russians, whereas the stereotypes of Russians living in Estonia and Russians living in Russia did not differ remarkably. The comparison of stereotype profiles demonstrated that the stereotypes of Estonians and both Russian samples were opposite to each other. The ideal communicator was characterized rather similarly by all groups, mostly featuring qualities typical of the Russian communication stereotype.
