Mexico is one of the most diverse countries with numerous social minorities such as indigenous Mexicans, but also immigrants coming from countries so different like Honduras or the United States (US). The relationship between stereotypes about minorities and perceived threat has been extensively studied; however, it has not been tested whether such a relationship varies according to the target evaluated. We compared the stereotypes of Mexicans toward indigenous Mexicans, US immigrants, and Honduran immigrants, and analyzed their relationship with perceived threat, perceived discrimination, and quantity of contact. Six hundred and thirty-five Mexican participants (62.5% female, Mage = 29.07) answered an online questionnaire reporting their stereotypes of (im)morality, sociability, and competence of the outgroup (i.e., indigenous Mexicans, US immigrants, or Honduran immigrants), and of the ingroup (Mexican majority), perceived threat and discrimination of the three minorities, and their quantity of contact with them. Results showed that indigenous Mexicans were the best-evaluated group in all stereotype dimensions, and were considered the least threatening and the most discriminated group. Perceived (im)morality of US and especially of Honduran immigrants was associated with perceptions of realistic threat, but this association was not sustained when evaluating indigenous Mexicans. Our findings may contribute to understanding the complexity when evaluating different minorities in Mexico and some of the psychosocial processes involved.

墨西哥少数民族:对墨西哥原住民、美国移民和洪都拉斯移民的刻板印象、威胁、歧视和接触

墨西哥是最多元化的国家之一,拥有众多社会少数群体,例如墨西哥土著人,但也有来自洪都拉斯或美国等不同国家的移民。人们对少数群体的刻板印象与感知到的威胁之间的关系进行了广泛的研究;然而,尚未测试这种关系是否根据评估的目标而变化。我们比较了墨西哥人对墨西哥土著人、美国移民和洪都拉斯移民的刻板印象,并分析了他们与感知威胁、感知歧视和接触数量的关系。六百三十五名墨西哥参与者(62.5%为女性,法师) = 29.07)回答了一份在线调查问卷,报告了他们对外群体(即墨西哥土著、美国移民或洪都拉斯移民)和内群体(墨西哥人占多数)的(不)道德、社交性和能力的刻板印象、感知到的威胁和歧视三个少数民族的情况以及与他们接触的数量。结果显示,墨西哥土著人在所有刻板印象维度上都是评价最好的群体,并且被认为是威胁最小和最受歧视的群体。美国,尤其是洪都拉斯移民的道德(不)道德感与现实威胁的看法相关,但在评估墨西哥土著人时,这种关联并不成立。
