The typifications of the Aboriginal self and family had great
coherence. The Aboriginal self was seen positively by the majority
of the group on all items. There were no negative stereotypes.
Of the seventeen items possible, all can be regarded as positive
stereotypes (Table 14). Fifteen of these items had agreement of
more than 60 per cent, eleven of these had agreement of more than
70 per cent.

While the conclusions drawn must be related only to those groups
in the study who were visible, and whom it was possible to identify overtly as
Aborigines, nevertheless it-may be asserted that

The negative stereotype of Aborigines, held by mainstream
society and institutionalised for Aborigines in general, is NOT
internalised for the Aboriginal self in those situations where
Aborigines are.visible and it is acceptable to identify and be
identified as Aboriginal.

20.82 (iii) Comparison of Aboriginal view of self and Aboriginal
view of Aborigines in general

Despite the fact that the positive- view of the Aboriginal self
was supported on each item, and despite the fact that a predominantly
negative view of Aborigines in general was supported, there was some
overlap when examining those traits thought to be most characteristic
of Aborigines and the Aboriginal self.                                `
