Abstrakt:	Abstract: 1. Objectives. The aim of our study was to examine mirroring in national stereotypes of five Central European countries. Mirroring describes a phenomenon whereby people rate their ingroup characteristics as opposite to characteristics typical of a relevant outgroup. 2. Sample and setting. 2,241 participants from Austria, the Czech Republic, Germany, Poland and Slovakia rated their national ingroup stereotype and outgroup stereotypes of the four other countries on the National Character Survey (NCS, Terracciano et al., 2005). 3. Hypothesis. Mirroring will occur primarily against dominant Germany. 4. Statistical analysis. We compared each of the national ingroup stereotypes with the corresponding national outgroup stereotypes. Profile agreement was calculated as an intraclass correlation (ICC) across the 30 NCS scales. 5. Results. The results showed a clear presence of mirroring in the three Slavic but not in the two Germanic countries. Mirroring was most pronounced on traits mapping onto the fundamental dimensions of social perception - Agreeableness/ warmth and Conscientiousness/competence. However, participants contrasted their ingroup against outgroup stereotypes also on Neuroticism, Extraversion and Openness to Experience. 6. Study limitation. The correlational design did not allow for conclusions about stages of stereotype formation at which mirroring occurs. Follow-up studies can examine mirroring using experimental design.
