“…Participants who were subtly cued to attend to sex applied gender (but not ethnic) stereotypes to the target, while those who were cued toward ethnicity applied ethnic (but not gender) stereotypes. Klauer, Ehrenberg, and Wegener (2003) and van Rijswijk and Ellemers (2002) also reported evidence that stereotyping of multiply categorizable targets follows an either/or (i.e., compartmentalization) pattern.…”

Diversity in the person, diversity in the group: Challenges of identity complexity for social perception and social interaction

Social psychological research is increasingly coming to grips with the complexity of social identity within the individual, both from the perspective of perceivers trying to form impressions and make judgments about multiply categorizable targets, as well as from the perspective of actors using their different self-aspects as a framework for guiding their interactions with the social world. I review several contributions to the effort to better understand these issues and then explore some of their possible implications for understanding the nature and consequences of diversity within the group. The importance of social categories in guiding social cognition and behavior was recognized decades ago by seminal figures in social psychology (Allport, 1954;Sherif, 1948;Tajfel, 1974). Since then, research on social categorization and associated phenomena such as stereotyping and intergroup conflict has flowed in a steadily increasing stream, attesting to the theoretical centrality and practical significance of these issues. Much of the social psychological research that has been conducted in this tradition has focused on one identity dimension at a time (e.g., race or sex or nationality) and has assumed the existence of distinct, discrete categories within a given dimension (e.g., clearly defined racial groups) rather than overlapping, blended, or ambiguous categories. In addition, researchers often tend either to adopt the perspective of the observer, asking how social categories are imposed on target persons in the course of social perception, or they adopt the perspective of the actor, asking how categorical identities are claimed or disavowed in the course of self-perception, and how these identities influence subsequent selfregulation. These research traditions have yielded undeniably rich and diverse insights into the dynamics of social categorization, but the picture they have produced has not fully come to terms with some of the inherent complexities of social categorization.In recent times, researchers have begun to turn their attention more explicitly toward the multifaceted nature of social identities. The diversity of identity, within the individual, has been increasingly recognized and investigated, both from the perceiver's and the actor's perspectives. The impact of a group's diversity on group dynamics and productivity has also been increasingly recognized in recent years, but the issue becomes more complicated when one recognizes the diversity that resides within the individual members comprising the group. In this article, I review some of the recent research and theory bearing on the diversity of identity, considering its implications both for individuals and groups. As will become clear, many key issues remain ripe for empirical exploration.

“…In Study 2 we investigate whether spoken statements made by Black women are less likely to be correctly identified compared to those of Black men, White women and White men. Researchers interested in studying the intersections of multiple categories (such as race and gender) have often used the ''who said what" paradigms to try and disentangle which category is perceptually salient and under which conditions (e.g., Klauer, Ehrenberg, and Wegener, 2003;Stangor, Lynch, Duan, & Glass, 1992;Taylor et al, 1978). In Study 2, we adapt this task not to investigate category salience per se, but rather to examine whether the contributions of Black women are more likely than those of any other group to go ''unheard" such that they are more likely to be misattributed to other speakers.…”

“…Experiences from other studies using the 'Who said what?' paradigm (Klauer & Wegener, 1998;Klauer, Ehrenberg, & Wegener, 2003;Klauer, Wegener, & Ehrenberg, 2002) led us to require 240 observations per condition of each experiment (defined by a combination of kind of statement, category, and level of inter-category fit) over the participants for satisfactory statistical test power. Because of the fit manipulation, some cells of the experimental design received less data points per participant than others, and thus 20 participants were assigned to the no-fit condition, 30 to the medium fit condition, and 60 to the high fit condition in each experiment, thereby guaranteeing a minimum of 240 data points in every condition.…”

The goal of the research reported in this article was to examine whether social categorization, commonly thought to be a function of accessibility and intra-category fit, is also sensitive to changes in inter-category fit. Intra-category fit refers to the match between a target person's features and stored categorical knowledge, inter-category fit to the extent to which category memberships and targets' features covary across perceived group members. In Experiments 1, 2, and 3, members of social categories of low, medium, and high accessibility, respectively, were shown in a group discussion. Inter-category fit was manipulated in three steps. Category salience in memory increased as an additive function of accessibility and inter-category fit. Experiment 4 replicated the effects of intercategory fit while intra-category fit and the information presented for individual discussants were held constant. The present studies are the first to demonstrate an effect of inter-category fit on a relatively direct measure of spontaneous social categorization.
