本文考察了本质主义的社会范畴观，并将其与实体性和自然善这两个密切相关的概念进行了区分。我们认为，奠定了社会类别的看法不同沿着三个维度：自然善良，实体性，本质主义。根据社会类别的成员资格是被迫的还是选择的，人们发展了不同的理论，并将不同类型的特征联系起来。对类别成员的知觉控制影响个体对实体性和自然善良的知觉，但对本质主义对群体的归因没有直接影响。
This article investigates the essentialist perception of social categories and differentiates it from two closely related concepts, namely entitativity and natural kind-ness. We argue that lay perceptions of social categories vary along three dimensions: natural kind-ness, entitativity, and essentialism. Depending on whether membership in social categories is forced or chosen, people develop different theories and associate different types of characteristics. Perceived control upon membership in the categories influences perceptions of entitathity and natural kind-ness but has no direct impact on the attribution of essentialism to die groups.
