This study is a discussion of the association between cultures and increasing intergroup contacts. The chosen case study is a four-year longitudinal study that represents the stereotype changes found within an intergroup connection. It starts with an overview of one pre-migration and two post-migration areas including a sample of 200 Ingrain Finns who were migrating from Russia to Finland using Schwartz’s values theory of intergroup communication.
The study concluded that at a group level the stereotype profile of the migrants is consensual which is believed to be incorporated from Finn’s and is found highly stable and accurate. Also, Finns are found to be less tolerant and more self-indulgent and are strictly adhering to their culture and values. However, on the individual level the stereotypes are seen only ordinarily stable, and no predictions could be made due to the heterogeneous nature of the change that was observed.
