在四项研究中，我们调查了个人解释对国家身份隐性归属的作用。参与者完成了内隐联想测试（研究 1 和 3）或进行/不进行联想任务（研究 2 和 4），评估“美国人”这一概念与亚裔美国名人（刘玉玲）和欧洲白人名人（凯特·温斯莱特）的联系程度。与明确的回应相反，亚裔美国人的目标被隐含地认为不如欧洲白人目标那么美国化。当目标根据其种族（而不是个人）身份进行分类时（研究 1 和 2）以及当范例引起人们对亚裔美国人目标的种族身份的关注时（研究 3 和 4），这种效应更加明显。这些发现为解释过程的灵活性以及种族在国家身份隐性归属中的作用提供了证据。
In four studies, we investigated the role of person construal on the implicit ascription of a national identity. Participants completed Implicit Association Tests (Studies 1 and 3) or Go/No-go Association Tasks (Studies 2 and 4) assessing the extent to which the concept American was linked to an Asian American celebrity (Lucy Liu) and to a White European celebrity (Kate Winslet). In contrast to explicit responses, the Asian American target was implicitly regarded as being less American than the White European target. This effect was more pronounced when targets were categorized based on their ethnic (rather than personal) identity (Studies 1 and 2) and when the exemplars draw attention to the ethnic identity of the Asian American target (Studies 3 and 4). These findings provide evidence for the flexibility of construal processes and the role of ethnicity in the implicit ascription of a national identity.
