Stereotypical associations about professions

Activity: Talk or presentationScience to professionals/public

Description

Stereotypes strongly influence social interactions. This is also the case for stereotypes about professions. Jurgen Willems will report on ongoing research about stereotypical associations regarding public servants, and about various professions in the public sector as well as the for‐profit and nonprofit sectors. A detailed insight in professional stereotypes can lead to a better understanding of the theoretical and practical challenges, such as citizen behavior towards public servants, as well as the attractiveness of and political decisions about public service jobs. He will also give an insight in learning points with respect to analyzing cognitive word associations.
