我们描述了如何梅诺米尼美洲原住民和欧美猎人不同方面，他们如何看待和思考自然（在这里，特别是动物和植物的森林），以及人类在其中的作用。我们称这些模型为认识论框架民间理论，让个人在特定情况下作出推论，指导收购和形成新的知识。使用的方法，结合人类学的民族志研究与相关的认知科学的实验方法，我们探讨内和文化之间的思想，价值观和信仰的分布及其行为后果。研究结果表明，其他群体的刻板印象在很大程度上是由不同的认识论框架和所产生的分类和解释观察到的或假设的行为。[文化模式、价值观、陈规定型观念、种族间冲突、资源管理、文化内差异]。
We describe how Menominee Native Americans and Euro-American hunters differ with respect to how they perceive and think about nature (here, specifically animals and plants of the forest) as well as the role of humans in it. We call these models epistemological frameworks-folk theories that allow individuals to make inferences in specific situations, guiding the acquisition and formation of new knowledge. Using an approach that combines ethnographic research from anthropology with experimental approaches from related cognitive sciences, we explore the within- and between-cultural distributions of ideas, values, and beliefs and their behavioral consequences. Findings indicate that stereotyping of other groups is largely driven by differences in epistemological frameworks and resulting categorizations and interpretations of observed or assumed behaviors.
