Beyond anecdotal observations, a 2023 Pew survey shows that people around the world generally see the U.S. as more or less similar to other wealthy nations.
However, a median of 31% respondents from 23 countries say the United States is less tolerant than other wealthy countries and just 21% say it is more tolerant, while among Americans, the balance of opinion is reversed: 44% say the U.S. is more tolerant than other nations, while 22% say it is less tolerant.

They're the best kind of tourists here (Greece) and somehow in recent years, they've all decided to come here?
Anyway, polite, smiling, enthusiastic, chill/down to earth. You MAY think this is how most people are on their holidays but believe me, they're NOT. I don't wanna mention here other uh... potentially problematic nationalities I compare them to (ALL from Europe btw...)
So as far as I am concerned, what makes Americans stand out is being this cheerful, outwardly polite person. MAYBE that's a facade, it probably is, but this salesman type of personality is what I think of when I think of a stereotypical American.

The aforementioned study also suggests there are differences when it comes to the relative political stability of the U.S.
A median of 33% of people in the 23 surveyed countries believe the U.S. is more politically stable than other countries, while 17% say it is less stable.
Americans themselves take a more pessimistic view: 34% say the U.S. is less politically stable than other wealthy countries, while 23% say it is more stable.

Looking deeper, Gallup also found that Americans have become less likely to value religion and less patriotic than in the past while becoming more likely to value money.
And while Americans seem to be placing more value on community activities than in previous years, there is a decline in the perceived importance of having children.
