Following the functional approach to social category salience by Oakes (1987), the salience of combined categories was expected to depend on the degree of perceived fit of the two group- memberships to a shared pool of stereotypic dimensions (a so-called pattern of multiple fit). In a crossed categorization design, stimulus persons were characterized by gender (male vs. female) and authority position (superior vs. subordinate) and we studied the influence of multiple fit on the preference of particular category combinations (conjunctive categories: male superiors and female subordinates) over alternative category combinations (non-conjunctive categories: female superiors and male subordinates). In the present study, the degree of multiple fit was manipulated (low vs. high) and participants subsequently categorized members of conjunctive categories more strongly than those of non-conjunctive categories only when multiple fit was high, but not when a low level of multiple fit was given. In sum, results supported the notion that the use of multiple group- memberships as a categorization unit is less a matter of automaticity, but a function of the specific pattern of perceived category fit.}, language = {en} } @article{PiontkowskiBlanzRohmannetal., author = {Piontkowski, Ursula and Blanz, Mathias and Rohmann, Anette and Schmermund, Anke and Florack, Arnd}, title = {The impact of multiple fit on implicit associations between categories: The implicit-association test as a research instrument in the study of social categorization}, series = {Advances in psychology research}, volume = {6}, journal = {Advances in psychology research}, editor = {Columbus, Frank H.}, publisher = {Nova Science}, address = {Huntington}, pages = {103 -- 128}, language = {en} } @article{BlanzPiontkowskiFloracketal., author = {Blanz, Mathias and Piontkowski, Ursula and Florack, Arnd and Rohmann, Anette}, title = {When people belong to more than one group: A fit-based approach to multiple categorization}, series = {Advances in psychology research}, volume = {4}, journal = {Advances in psychology research}, editor = {Columbus, Frank H.}, publisher = {Nova Science}, address = {Huntington}, pages = {279 -- 314}, language = {en} }
