Abstract

Since the implementation of family planning in China in 1979, the only-child group has become increasingly large and has gradually attracted public attention. This study explores whether college students have a stereotyped impression of the only child. If so, what are the specific contents and characteristics. Using the only-child stereotype questionnaire, 320 college students were randomly selected to fill in the questionnaire. The following conclusions show: (1) The stereotypes of college students on the only child are “wasteful, confident, short-tempered, lonely, haughty, and strong dependent”; (2) College students from rural areas have deeper stereotypes on only child than urban college students; (3) The only-child college students and non-only-child students show a clear “outside group derogatory effect” in only-child stereotype; (4) There is no gender difference in college students' stereotypes on only child.
