我们提出了一个社会类别表征的替代模型,该模型建议人们使用心理频率分布来记忆和组织沿属性维度的实例。然后,我们探索这一模型对于解释感知到的群体变异性的差异的含义,包括群体外同质性效应。在实验1中,我们证明了使用更多的类别来代表一个维度会导致沿着该维度的群体的感知变异性更大。实验2表明,与外组相比,被试在判断组内时会自发地沿着属性维度产生更多的子组(即更多的类别)。综上所述,这些实验展示了频率分布模型的使用如何解释群体外的同质性。如果受试者使用频率分布来表示维度上的组成员,并且他们将组外划分为比组内更少的类别,那么组外...
We propose an alternative model of social category representation that suggests people use mental frequency distributions to remember and organize instances along an attribute dimension. We then explore the implications of this model for explaining differences in perceived group variability, including the out-group homogeneity effect. In Experiment 1, we demonstrate that using a greater number of categories to represent a dimension results in greater perceived variability of a group along that dimension. Experiment 2 shows that subjects spontaneously generate more subgroups (that is, a greater number of categories) along an attribute dimension when judging the in-group as compared to the out-group. Taken together, these experiments demonstrate how the use of a frequency distribution model might account for out-group homogeneity. If subjects use a frequency distribution to represent group members along a dimension, and they divide out-groups into a fewer number of categories than in-groups, then out-groups...
