'        THE WORLDS IN WHICH WE LIVE

4.32(ii) Research questions, hypotheses Area II - location of
.        Aborigines in a ’world’ of meaning by typifications

and institutionalization of typifications.

RESEARCH QUESTION 2.1

Typifications

What are the typifications of Aborigines held by non-Aborigines?

(1) historically

(2) currently?

HYPOTHESIS 2.1

It is hypothesized that the typification of Aborigines by non-
Aborigines has been, and is, negative and that the greater
the visibility of the Aboriginal group, the more negative
will be the typification.

RESEARCH QUESTIONS 2.2

Institutionalization of typifications

What evidence is there of institutionalization of typifications?
Is there any symmetry between typifications of Aborigines by non-
Aborigines and typifications of Aborigines by Aborigines?

HYPOTHESIS 2.2

It is hypothesized that there will be evidence of institutionalization
of typifications (that is, that there will be reciprocal typification,
and that Aborigines will have internalised the negative typifications
of the dominant group, stated in Hypothesis 2.1 above).

RESEARCH QUESTION 2.3

Do Aboriginal people typify non-Aboriginal people negatively?

HYPOTHESIS 2.3

It is hypothesized that Aborigines will typify 'Australians’ and

•Italians’ negatively.
