PERCEPCIONES Y ESTEREOTIPOS DE ESTUDIANTES UNIVERSITARIOS HACIA COMPAÑEROS AFROCOLOMBIANOS E INDÍGENAS (College students stereotypes towards Afro-Colombians and Indigenous peers)
Abstract
El presente artículo hace parte de una investigación sobre prejuicios, estereotipos y discriminación entre estudiantes universitarios. El objetivo de este trabajo fue comprender las percepciones de los estudiantes de la Universidad de Nariño hacia sus compañeros afrocolombianos e indígenas. El estudio se desarrolló desde el paradigma cualitativo a través de grupos focales con estudiantes de la sede Pasto y la extensión de Ipiales. Se identificaron cuatro categorías que agrupan las percepciones: la personalidad, las relaciones interpersonales, el desempeño académico y la tradición cultural. Los resultados muestran que existen estereotipos positivos y negativos hacia las comunidades estudiadas, siendo más marcados los estereotipos negativos hacia la comunidad afrocolombiana. Entre las características más relevantes se encuentran: la percepción de bajo desempeño académico de los afrocolombianos y su personalidad extrovertida. En cuanto a los indígenas sobresale la valoración de su cultura y su introversión. Estos estereotipos afectan la convivencia universitaria entre estudiantes pertenecientes y no pertenecientes a las comunidades mencionadas.

Abstract
This article is part of a research on prejudice, stereotyping and discrimination among college students. This study was aimed to understand students’ perceptions of the University of Nariño toward their Afro-Colombian and Indigenous peers. The study was developed from the qualitative paradigm through focus groups with students from Pasto and Ipiales headquarters. Four categories were taken into account: personality, interpersonal relationships, academic performance and cultural tradition. The results show that there are positive and negative stereotypes towards the analyzed communities, presenting higher negative stereotypes towards Afro-Colombian community. It was founded that the poor academic performance and the outgoing personality trait are relevant factors among Afro-Colombian students, and in regard to the indigenous students, it stands out their appreciation for their cultural values and their introversion. These stereotypes affect the coexistence between students from the mentioned communities as well as the ones who don’t belong to them.
Keywords: Stereotypes Attitudes, Social Perception, College Students, Afro-Colombians, indigenous.
