In this study we attempted to replicate the well-known Doise & Sinclair (1973) procedure for manipulating category salience, in a different social context. We considered the relationship between two groups of professionals: doctors and nurses, as perceived by 40 members of the superior group. The results did not confirm those obtained by Doise & Sinclair since they showed reduced categorical differentiation when the out-group was evoked in advance of the intergroup evaluations. The implications of these findings for theories of social categorization and social identity are discussed.
在本研究中，我们试图在不同的社会背景下复制著名的多伊斯和辛克莱（1973年）操纵类别显著性的程序。我们考察了上级群体的40名成员所感知的两组专业人员（医生和护士）之间的关系。结果并未证实多伊斯和辛克莱所得出的结论，因为这些结果显示，在群体间评价之前预先提及外群体时，类别分化会减弱。本文讨论了这些发现对社会分类理论和社会认同理论的启示。
