• Abstract:

   The Schadenfreude is a German

  term, whose Portuguese translation is joy,

  pleasure, satisfaction, etc. In Portuguese,

  this term can be translated by malicious

  pleasure; rejoicing in the sadness of others.

  Schadenfreude is not about pleasure to cause

  suffering to the other, it is pleasure to observe

  this suffering, is malicious contentment by the

  misfortune of others.In the intergroup relations

  there is a possible influence of the stereotypes

  for the activation of schadenfreude. In view of

  this, the objective of this study is to analyze the

  attribution of Stereotypes and Schadenfreude

  to social targets in situations of misfortune,

  facilitated or not to attribute such stereotypes,

  observing if there is the relationship between

  these two feelings. Twenty children, 9 to 11 years 

  of age, participated in the study. The children were interviewed using a pre-established

  script, where they were asked to present stereotypical traits and contents attributed

  by the child and by socializing agents (parents, teachers, colleagues) to himself and

  to other white and black children, besides drawing the children represented in their

  speeches. The questions addressed were elaborated from the concepts of self-image,

  social identity, stereotypes, intergroup relations and Schadenfreude. The children

  participating in this research presented beliefs based on the socialization process and

  showed how socializing agents are important in the development of the human being,

  in the construction of their identity, since children introduce the social norms learned in

  their social environment.
