%X Stereotyping representations and prejudice expression in Peru: The vision from poverty Stereotypes and prejudices towards different ethnic groups held by people from an extremely impoverished area in Callao, Peru were studied. A mixed methodology was designed, comprised of a survey study (n = 115) and four focus groups (n = 30). Results show the existence of specific stereotypes to represent groups of high (Whites) and low status (Andeans, Amazonians and Afro-Peruvians). Every assessed group was described through ambivalent stereotyping contents. Results show that white people were perceived as instrumentalist, corrupts and non-patriotic while low status groups were seen as low in instrumentalism but warmth and sympathetic. Comparing these results with Espinosa, Calderon, Guimac and Burga (2007), it becomes evident that stereotyping representations held by people of poor strata are structurally similar to those held by people of middle-class groups. However, prejudice toward high status groups¡¯ members is stronger among poor respondents when compared with middle class respondents, because impoverished people are likely to consider members of high status groups as individuals with discriminatory and excluding behaviors against people of low status groups. Se estudian estereotipos y prejuicios hacia distintos grupos ¨¦tnicos que presentan los habitantes de una zona de pobreza extrema en el Callao, Per¨². Se desarrollo un dise o mixto de investigaci¨®n con una fase cuantitativa donde se aplicaron encuestas (n = 115) y una cualitativa donde se realizaron 4 grupos focales (n = 30). Los resultados muestran representaciones estereot¨ªpicas que comprenden grupos de alto (blancos) y bajo estatus (andinos, amaz¨®nicos y afroperuanos). Los grupos evaluados son representados a trav¨¦s de contenidos estereotipos ambivalentes. Los blancos son percibidos como instrumentales, corruptos y poco patriotas, mientras que los de bajo estatus como poco instrumentales pero c¨¢lidos y simp¨¢ticos. Comparando estos resultados con los obtenidos por Espinosa, Calder¨®n, Guimac & Burga (2007), se observa que las representaciones estereot¨ªpicas de los participantes de sectores pobres son estructuralmente similares a las de personas de sectores medios. Sin embargo, el prejuicio asignado a grupos de alto estatus resulta mayor en la muestra de pobreza extrema, ya que se atribuye a sus miembros practicas discriminatorias y excluyentes que afectan a los grupos de bajo estatus.
