Abstract

ABSTRACT Many societies today are organised as race-based social hierarchies, with clear boundaries between racial groups at the top versus bottom. The growth of multiracial populations has been heralded as holding the potential to blur existing group boundaries. But whether multiracial people do blur boundaries depends critically on how monoracial perceivers categorise them. We review our research programme on how monoracial perceivers’ categorisation of multiracials depends on sociopolitical motives. We present the Sociopolitical Motive × Intergroup Threat Model of Racial Categorisation, which describes how sociopolitical motives interact with specific threats to drive multiracial categorisation, and how this depends on perceivers’ group position in the racial status hierarchy. Our empirical work is based on the U.S. context, but we discuss how our research, grounded in theories of intergroup relations that have been tested cross-culturally – social dominance, system justification, authoritarianism, and social identity theories – may apply more broadly.

单一种族感知者的社会政治动机及其对多种族人群的包容与排斥

摘要当今许多社会都是以种族为基础的社会等级制度，上层和底层的种族群体之间有着明确的界限。多种族人口的增长被认为有可能模糊现有的群体界限。但多种族的人是否确实模糊了界限，关键取决于单种族感知者如何对他们进行分类。我们回顾了我们的研究计划，即单种族感知者对多种族的分类如何取决于社会政治动机。我们提出了种族分类的社会政治动机×群体间威胁模型，该模型描述了社会政治动机如何与特定威胁相互作用，以推动多种族分类，以及这如何取决于感知者在种族地位等级中的群体地位。我们的实证工作是基于美国的背景，但我们讨论了我们的研究如何以跨文化测试的群体间关系理论为基础——社会主导、制度正当性、威权主义和社会认同理论——更广泛地应用。

期刊介绍： The "European Review of Social Psychology (ERSP)" is a distinguished international journal that operates under the patronage of the European Association of Social Psychology. It serves as a platform for comprehensive, theory-driven reviews that cover the broad spectrum of social psychology. The journal is open to submissions from authors worldwide and is guided by a prestigious international editorial board. ERSP is particularly interested in publishing reviews that reflect the author's own research program, as demonstrated by their publications in leading peer-reviewed journals. The journal values theoretical contributions that are grounded in a substantial empirical foundation, situating the research within the broader context of existing literature and offering a synthesis that goes beyond the individual articles. In addition to these in-depth reviews, ERSP also welcomes conventional reviews and meta-analyses, further enriching the journal's offerings. By focusing on high-quality, evidence-based research, ERSP contributes significantly to the advancement of knowledge in social psychology and fosters a deeper understanding of human social behavior across cultures and societies.
