Limitations of cross-categorisation with atypical crossings: The effect of the emotional state

Abstract

An aspect that has been studied in cross-categorisation is the criminality resulting from the crossing of categories used to achieve the reduction of inter-group bias. Eurich-Fulcer and Schofield (1995) have found in this respect that when correlated categories are crossed (typical category crossings), intergroup bias increases rather than decreasing. In this work, we look at the consequences of the effects that may arise from atypical category crossings. Based on Forgas’s work (1992), we predict that the condition will have a greater influence on the formation of impressions on subjects with atypical category crossings than on subjects with typical category crossings. The results confirm this. This may pose a problem in the use of cross-categorisation to improve inter-group relations, since the problem caused by people belonging to unknown, strange exodus is often negative, with the result that the use of atypical category crossings may also encourage negative impressions.
