Abstract

This paper presents the results of the first part of a comparative qualitative study on cultural stereotypes in the self- and mutual perception of Germans and Spaniards at the beginning and in the course of the European debt crisis. The first round of research at the beginning of the crisis showed that this mutual perception is characterised by primarily positive images. Self-perception is in both cases, but especially for the Germans, more critical than the perception of the respective other group. This seems to stand in conflict with the functions of stereotypes that Alexander Thomas (2006) put forth in consonance with Social Identity Theory (Tajfel and Turner 1986).
