本文的目的是强调人类的适应性认知功能在偏见的起因中的重要性。有人认为，这种方法具有经济，可信度和可测试性的解释，并不总是共享的观点寻求群体间的紧张关系的心理原因，在进化的过去的物种或无意识的动机。三个认知过程被认为是从他们的相关性的角度来看，在个人的偏见的起源：分类，同化，并寻求概念的连贯性。虽然这篇论文既没有讨论减少偏见的方法，也没有为未来的研究勾勒出任何详细的设计，但我相信，这里采用的一般方法对社会行动和研究都有影响，这些影响尚未得到一致和充分的考虑。
Summary The aim of this paper was to stress the importance of the adaptive cognitive functioning of man in the causation of prejudice. It was felt that this approach has the merits of economy, credibility and testability of explanation which are not always shared by views seeking the psychological causes of intergroup tensions in the evolutionary past of the species or in unconscious motivation. Three cognitive processes were considered from the point of view of their relevance to the genesis of prejudice in an individual: categorization, assimilation, and search for conceptual coherence. Though the paper was not concerned either with discussing ways to reduce prejudice or with outlining in any detail designs for future research, it is my belief that the general approach adopted here has implications, both for social action and for research, which have not been as yet consistently and fully taken into account.
