Resumen
This study analyses the content and the uniformity of meta-stereotypes among homelessness
people, and the stereotypes that domiciled people have of homeless people. The research took
place in Madrid (Spain), based on data provided by a representative sample of homeless
people (n=188) and a sample of people at no risk of becoming homeless (n=180). Results
show that stereotypes of homeless people and homeless people's meta-stereotypes
predominantly have negative or indulgent content, with very little positive content, and have a
high degree of uniformity, with hardly any differences in terms of basic socio-demographic
variables. The meta-stereotypes of homeless people are more uniform, and are more negative
and less indulgent than the stereotypes that domiciled people have established regarding
homeless people.
