Litewski i białoruski stereotyp Polaka (w świetle badań za pomocą dyferencjału semantycznego)
LITHUANIAN AND BYELORUSSIAN STEREOTYPES OF A POLE: A STUDY BASED ON SEMANTIC DIFFERENTIAL

Summary/Abstract: In research on national stereotypes, Osgood's semantic differential allows one to compare the results according to selected features, their evaluation and intensity. Participants of Jerzy Bartmiński's M.A. seminar collected data in Vilnius and Minsk in 2001, on the basis of which it is possible to conclude that the stereotype of a Pole in Lithuania and Byelarus is divided: Poles living in Lithuania or Belarus are viewed differently from those living in Poland. In Lithuania the image of a locally-based Pole is more negative and includes the features of pride, obstinacy and aggression. In Belarus the situation is reversed: Poles living in the country are viewed as more cultural, honest, sociable good-tempered, and intelligent, although less enterprising and well-off than those living in Poland.
