Beliefs about the shared qualities of members of particular nations are known as national stereotypes. Substantial consensus exists as to the personal qualities of members of different nations, even though these beliefs do not accord with actual data about the distribution of personalities between nations. Stereotypes rest on more readily available sources of information such as nations' size, wealth, and climate. Stereotypes tend to be more positive for nations that are more similar to one's own. National stereotypes do change over time, particularly in response to media reports of major world events, and in response to changes in one's personal circumstances.
