This study examined whether members of one racial or ethnic minority group (i.e., Dominican Americans) express fewer positive attitudes toward members of a different racial or ethnic minority group (i.e., African Americans)-with which they do not identify-when they perceive that their group faces discrimination on a basis that categorizes them together with that other group (i.e., race).
Ninety-nine Dominican-American undergraduate students (Mage = 20.23, SD = 1.64; 53% women, 18% first generation) were randomly assigned to read a brief article stating that discrimination against Dominicans was based either on language or immigrant status (n = 48) or race (n = 51). Afterward they reported their attitudes toward and similarity to African Americans.
Dominican-American undergraduates who perceived that they were dissimilar to African Americans expressed fewer positive attitudes toward the group when told that Dominicans face discrimination because of race as opposed to because of their language and immigrant status.
The study suggests that perceived discrimination from White Americans can induce categorization threat and influence intraminority relations. Members of 1 racial or ethnic minority group can express fewer positive attitudes toward members of another group with which they do not feel similar when they perceive that members of both groups face discrimination based on a shared category.

本研究考察了当一个少数族裔群体（即多米尼加裔美国人）成员感知到他们与另一个少数族裔群体（即非裔美国人）一起因一个将他们归为一类的基础而受到歧视时，他们是否会对该群体表达较少的积极态度，即使他们与该群体没有身份认同。
99 名多米尼加裔美国大学生（Mage = 20.23，SD = 1.64；53%为女性，18%为第一代移民）被随机分配阅读一篇短文，内容为关于对多米尼加人的歧视是基于语言还是移民身份（n = 48）或种族（n = 51）。之后，他们报告了对非裔美国人的态度和相似性。
当被告知多米尼加人因种族而不是语言和移民身份而面临歧视时，认为自己与非裔美国人不同的多米尼加裔美国大学生对该群体表达的积极态度较少。
研究表明，来自白人的感知歧视可能会引发分类威胁，并影响族内关系。当一个少数族裔群体的成员认为两个群体都因一个共同的类别而受到歧视时，他们可能会对与自己没有相似之处的另一个群体表达较少的积极态度。
