“…To address this issue is pivotal for our understanding of the cognitive mechanisms of social categorization and relevant stereotype/prejudice and behaviors. For instance, the emphasis of one dimension of social categorization (e.g., race, gender) for an individual's self-concept predicts the preference for an ingroup bias in attitudes on that dimension (Grigoryan et al, 2022). If social categorization occurs along different dimensions simultaneously, the capacity of running parallel computations is necessary for dealing with multiple social categories.…”

Social categorization of faces occurs along multiple dimensions such as race and gender and influences interpersonal interactions widely. Does social categorization of faces along different dimensions take place in parallel or give priority to some faces along a specific dimension? Across seven studies, we proposed and empirically tested a social task demand hypothesis that social categorization of a particular group of faces occurs in priority along one dimension (race or gender) in response to specific social task demands. Study 1 showed behavioral evidence that other-race faces are more densely clustered into one category, whereas same-race faces are more distantly separated into two (male and female) categories. Studies 2–4 showed electrophysiological evidence for earlier spontaneous racial categorization of other-race faces but earlier spontaneous gender categorization of same-race faces during an individual face recognition task. Studies 5–7 manipulated social task demands and provided electrophysiological evidence that early processes underlying racial or gender categorization of other-race or same-race faces were inhibited or facilitated by task demands of evaluating gender roles or group membership of perceived faces. Our findings indicate that the priority of racial or gender categorization of other-race or same-race faces varies dynamically to meet social task demands of managing intergroup and cross-sex interactions.

“…Plus, optimal conditions need to be achieved for positive contact to happen, such as equal status, shared goals, authority sanction, and the absence of competition. Social identity theory (Grigoryan et al, 2020;Paluck and Green, 2009) posits that intergroup conflict may arise because of social categorization processes. Categorization process (Turner et al, 1987) explains that individuals present differences in their ability to cognitively access different levels of their social and personal categorization.…”

Design Strategies to Promote Intercultural Meaningful Social Interactions

Intercultural interactions encourage social inclusion and diversity, but they are often avoided due to prejudices. Intercultural Meaningful Social Interactions (IMSI) can overcome such prejudices; still, the literature lacks guidelines on how to promote them by Design. In this study, we propose eight design strategies to facilitate these interactions, which were originated by bridging four theories for prejudice reduction and exemplar IMSI experiences of 15 intercultural participants. This paper presents the strategies and discusses their use to inspire new design concepts for promoting IMSI.

“…According to the social identity approach, one's identity is comprised of the categorization of the self and others toward social groups based on subjectively important characteristics, such as ethnicity (Tajfel and Turner, 1979;Park and Judd, 2005). Even though ethnicity is connotated and interpreted differently in each ethnic or cultural group, a recent study on the cross-cultural equivalence of identification of self and others showed that the individually perceived importance of ethnicity moderated the relationship of ethnic identification and interethnic bias comparably across 12.810 participants from 103 social groups (Grigoryan et al, 2022). Studies using the wellestablished assessment tool for ethnic identity, the Multigroup Ethnic Identity Measure (MEIM) by Phinney (1992), however, show inconsistent results.…”

The ability, will, and belief that it is possible to deal effectively with members of other cultural/ethnic groups are still gaining importance all over the world. However, the majority of studies on intercultural relations focus on Western Europe and the USA, applying constructs and theories that replicate a western-centered worldview. As a consequence, it is unclear whether established measures for intergroup attitudes and intercultural competence may be applied in Eastern European countries and to what extent they display comparable ideas, thoughts, and feelings. The current study thus explores cross-cultural commonalities and differences in established measures of ethnic identity, prejudice, acculturation strategies, intercultural intelligence, and multicultural personality. Therefore, we compare the scale structure, difficulty, and sensitivity in samples from Germany and the Eastern European countries Hungary, Serbia, and the Czech Republic (etic-perspective), as well as the culture-specific conceptions of said concepts (emic-perspective). Results show that the investigated scales do not work comparably across German and Eastern European samples. Differences might be rooted in variations of underlying thinking patterns and connotations of single expressions. Those variations are likely to be related to the constant individual societal and historical developments of cultures, shaping the way individuals think and talk about cultural diversity. Future studies are encouraged to consider culture-specific and generalizable aspects of constructs when conducting cross-cultural research on intercultural relations.
