根据亚血统的原则，多种族的个体根据他们在社会上最从属的群体成员进行分类。我们调查了应用这一原则的倾向是否与政治意识形态有关。在三项研究中，参与者对一系列在种族模糊性方面有所不同的变形面孔进行了分类。在每项研究中，自我报告的保守主义（与自由主义）与将模糊的面孔归类为黑人的倾向有关。与系统辩护动机有助于解释种族分类中的意识形态差异的概念相一致，保守主义和低血统之间的关联是由反对平等的个体差异介导的（研究2），并且当美国参与者将美国人分类为加拿大人时，这种关联更强（研究3）。我们讨论了种族模糊的个人在其最从属的种族群体的分类可能会加剧不平等和歧视的脆弱性。(C)2013 Elsevier Inc.

According to the principle of hypodescent, multiracial individuals are categorized according to their most socially subordinate group membership. We investigated whether the tendency to apply this principle is related to political ideology. In three studies, participants categorized a series of morphed faces that varied in terms of racial ambiguity. In each study, self-reported conservatism (vs. liberalism) was associated with the tendency to categorize ambiguous faces as Black. Consistent with the notion that system justification motivation helps to explain ideological differences in racial categorization, the association between conservatism and hypodescent was mediated by individual differences in opposition to equality (Study 2) and was stronger when U.S. participants categorized American than Canadian faces (Study 3). We discuss ways in which the categorization of racially ambiguous individuals in terms of their most subordinate racial group may exacerbate inequality and vulnerability to discrimination.
