内隐人格理论研究可以在心理本质论的框架内进行概念化。本质主义信仰与实体理论有关，两者都预测了刻板印象等现象。本研究扩展了先前关于内隐理论与社会认同过程之间联系的研究，探讨了本质主义信念与社会认同以及与偏见和群体间感知相关的过程之间的关系。在研究1中开发了一种本质主义信念的新测量方法之后，研究2表明，这些信念与对移民的负面偏见有关，特别是当参与者被灌输了排他性的社会身份时。在研究3中，移民的本质主义信仰调节了他们在文化适应过程中采用澳大利亚身份作为自我指导。因此，本质主义信仰在社会认同心理中起着重要的作用。
Implicit person theory research can be conceptualized within the framework of psychological essentialism. Essentialist beliefs are associated with entity theories and both predict phenomena such as stereotyping. The present research extended previous work on the links between implicit theories and social identity processes, examining how essentialist beliefs are associated with social identification and processes related to prejudice and intergroup perception. After developing a new measure of essentialist beliefs in Study 1, Study 2 showed that these beliefs were associated with negative bias towards immigrants, particularly when participants were primed with an exclusive social identity. In Study 3, essentialist beliefs among immigrants moderated their adoption of Australian identity as a self-guide during acculturation. Essentialist beliefs therefore play a significant role in the psychology of social identity.
