For the first time, “Against Stereotypes” uses objective data, previously measured asynchronously, to provide a new, cohesive perspective on the reputation of Italian Americans. This innovative approach opens new horizons for scientific research in reputation studies, offering a more accurate and comprehensive understanding of how Italian Americans are perceived.
