Categorization of individuals on the basis of multiple social features.

Abstract

Five experiments used a name-matching paradigm developed by Taylor et al (1978) to investigate how people use the immediately apparent features of others as a basis of social categorization. Ss were more likely to categorize targets according to their sex than their race but also tended to categorize using a single subordinate category that represented sex and race simultaneously.
