This research introduces and examines the relatively novel concept of category indispensability. It is examined whether the perception of subgroup indispensability for the identity of a superordinate category is associated with majority members' acceptance of minority rights. We investigated the role of perceived national category indispensability of immigrants for native's acceptances of immigrants' expressive cultural rights. The general hypothesis tested is that higher perceived category indispensability of immigrant groups is associated with higher acceptance. Results from four studies provide support for this hypothesis among native Dutch participants living in the Netherlands. Furthermore, the relationship was found to be mediated by a sense of common dual belonging and by deprovincialization beliefs.
本研究引入并考察了相对新颖的类别不可或缺性概念。研究了对于一个上级类别的身份而言，子群体不可或缺性的认知是否与多数群体成员对少数群体权利的接受度相关。我们调查了移民的国家类别不可或缺性认知对于本土居民接受移民表达性文化权利的作用。所检验的一般假设是，移民群体更高的类别不可或缺性认知与更高的接受度相关。四项研究的结果为居住在荷兰的荷兰本土参与者中的这一假设提供了支持。此外，发现这种关系由共同的双重归属感和去地方化信念介导。
