         Characteristics of Ethnocentricism

• Ethnocentrism is the tendency of individuals to  elevate their own culture as the standard agains t which they judge others, and to see their own as  superior to others (Berry, Poortinga ,  Segall,  & Dasen, 2002 ).

• In the nineteenth  century Charles Darwin ( 1874 ) noted that  tribes were more sympathetic to their own  groups, and W. G. Sumner ( 1906 ) first used the  term ethnocentrism.
• Sumner, in his early work, noted numerous  cultural groups (e.g., Caribs, Greenlanders,  Jews, Kiowa, Lapps, Seri) that had words identifying their own groups as uniquely “people,”  “chosen,” “men,” or in other ways superior.
