The thesis is about adaptation of migrants4 INTRODUCTION CONTRIBUTION CONCLUSION Adaptation – the outcome of acculturation process (Ward, Bochner , & Furnham , 2001) Migrants – individuals who relocate from their country of birth to another country because of personal preferences or socio-economic disadvantages in their countries(Sam & Berry, 2006) Affect Behavior Cognition
The thesis is about adaptation of migrants5 INTRODUCTION CONTRIBUTION CONCLUSION Adaptation – the outcome of acculturation process (Ward, Bochner , & Furnham , 2001) Migrants – individuals who relocate from their country of birth to another country because of personal preferences of socio-economic disadvantages in their countries(Sam & Berry, 2006) Affect Behavior Cognition How I feel in this country What I do in this country What I believe about people in this country
What I believe about people in this country6 INTRODUCTION CONTRIBUTION CONCLUSION Cognitive adaptation of migrants – to date, predominantly about ethnic/national stereotypes (e.g., Lonnqvist et al., 2003) BUT Stereotypes – beliefs about characteristics of social groups(Hilton & von Hippel, 1996)

Opportunities to learn about disconfirming information35 INTRODUCTION CONTRIBUTION CONCLUSION Learning opportunity – A situation which increases the migrants’ likelihood of becoming aware of the cultural stereotypes in their host countries Size of ethnic group ( Esser , 2010) Vitality of ethnic group (Giles, Bourhis , & Taylor, 1997; Esser , 2010; Ait Ourasse & van de Vijver , 2004) Length of stay in the host country (Demes & Geeraert , 2015) A small sized ethnic group A less vital ethnic group Longer stay in host country More opportunities to interact with natives = L earning about Cultural Stereotypes
Cognitive processes for the incorporation of disconfirming information36 INTRODUCTION CONTRIBUTION CONCLUSION Cognitive process – An event that takes place inside the minds of individuals Motivation Ability Do I want to incorporate this disconfirming information? Am I able to incorporate this disconfirming information? e.g., Acculturation orientation (Berry, 1997) People desire to hold contextually consistent beliefs about objects or other people (Crisp & Turner, 2011; Petty & Cacioppo , 1986) People vary in the intensity/direction of this process ( Petty & Cacioppo , 1986; Petty & Wegener, 1999) e.g., Ecological context (Ward & Geeraert , 2016)

Learning Opportunities The Integrative Model of Stereotype Accommodation ( tIMoSA ) 45 INTRODUCTION CONTRIBUTION CONCLUSION Individual-Related Differences Cross-Cultural Differences Stereotype Accommodation Cognitive Processes Disconfirming Information
Individual-related differences46 INTRODUCTION CONTRIBUTION CONCLUSION Individual-related differences – Characteristics of individuals that distinguish among their Reliance on stereotypes in genera l: PNS (Schaller, Boyd, Yohannes , & O’Brien, 1995) ; prejudices (Crandall, Bahns, Warner, & Schaller, 2011) Predisposition to incorporate new information: age ( Meeus , van de Schoot , Keijsers , & Branje , 2012); openness to experience (Flynn, 2005) Identification with the target group (Tajfel, Bilig, Bundy, & Flament , 1977; Demoulin & Teixeira, 2010 )
47 Conclusion INTRODUCTION CONTRIBUTION CONCLUSION
Learning Opportunities The thesis was about: tIMoSA 48 INTRODUCTION CONTRIBUTION CONCLUSION Individual-Related Differences Cross-Cultural Differences Stereotype Accommodation Cognitive Processes Disconfirming Information
The thesis was about:49 INTRODUCTION CONTRIBUTION CONCLUSION Whether individuals’ personal stereotypes change while acculturating to their host countries & Under which factors is this process more likely to occur
Limitations50 INTRODUCTION CONTRIBUTION CONCLUSION tIMoSA partially tested Cross-sectional data Convenience samples Heterogeneity of personal and cultural stereotypes No explicit hypothesis for each “target group”
Limitations51 INTRODUCTION CONTRIBUTION CONCLUSION What about the un-expected direction of (some) findings ? Can tIMoSA explain them? Mutuality in “stereotype accommodation” How are “A” and “B” “accommodated” by tIMoSA ?
Implications and Contributions52 INTRODUCTION CONTRIBUTION CONCLUSION (How) Do migrants’ personal stereotypes change while acculturating to their host countries?
Implications and Contributions53 INTRODUCTION CONTRIBUTION CONCLUSION It is not only “ethnic/national” stereotypes that change in the process of acculturation Personal stereotypes are not „fixed“, they can change as a result of learning about new cultural stereotypes Expansion of acculturation literature on cognitive adaptation of migrants Stereotypes as culturally situated Expansion of literature on stereotypes as situated cognition Initial research applying the SCM in Romania Contributes to WEIRD samples debate
Implications54 INTRODUCTION CONTRIBUTION CONCLUSION (How) Do migrants’ personal stereotypes change while acculturating to their host countries? YES, and I propose it depends on Cross-cultural differences, learning opportunities, cognitive processes and individual-related differences.

76 Stereotype Accommodation Prior knowledge about a social group that is pertinent in the host society is required. (e.g., Blanz & Aufderheide , 1999) Migrants learn (new) stereotype-relevant information about this social group Migrants incorporate/do not incorporate this new information Stereotype Acquisition Migrants have no previous knowledge about a social group that is pertinent in the host society Migrants hold no previous stereotypes about the social group Migrants learn both the social category and the associated stereotypes e.g., Pãkehã (NZ; Sibley et al., 2011), Rednecks (USA)
