Abstract

ABSTRACT We review a 40-year corpus of research that we collectively name “Multiple Categorisation Theory” (MCT). From early illustrations using the minimal group paradigm, through a focus on how people cognitively represent social diversity, to recent models of outgroup “re-humanisation”, this work has revealed much about how we think about inclusivity, exclusion, and intergroup differences. We review research that assessed ways to reduce intergroup bias by attenuating the reliance on simple categorisation via “crossed categorisation”. We describe how this research evolved from a focus on intergroup differences to incorporate self-categorisation, through processes of decategorisation and increased social identity complexity. Finally, we consider contemporary models that reveal the generalised benefits of multiple categorisation in promoting outgroup “re-humanisation” through “cognitive liberalisation”. We conclude by highlighting the theoretical and practical implications of this research programme.

40年的多重社会分类:社会包容性的工具

摘要：我们回顾了一个40年的研究语料库，我们将其统称为“多分类理论”（MCT）。从早期使用最小群体范式的插图，到关注人们如何在认知上代表社会多样性，再到最近的群体外“再人性化”模型，这项工作揭示了我们如何看待包容性、排斥性和群体间差异。我们回顾了评估通过“交叉分类”减少对简单分类的依赖来减少群体间偏见的方法的研究。我们描述了这项研究是如何从关注群体间差异演变为纳入自我分类的，通过去分类和增加社会身份复杂性的过程。最后，我们考虑了当代模型，这些模型揭示了多重分类在通过“认知自由化”促进群体外“再人性化”方面的普遍好处。最后，我们强调了这一研究计划的理论和实践意义。

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.
