The present research examined if Blacks differ in how they categorize Blacks, Whites, and Black-White Biracials (Biracials, hereafter) as ingroup members and whether those categorizations predict the degree to which they attribute rejection feedback to discrimination.
In Study 1 ( = 115), Black participants received rejection feedback from a Black, White, or Biracial online partner and then indicated the extent to which they perceived their partner as part of their racial ingroup and the extent to which they attributed the rejection feedback to discrimination. In Study 2a ( = 92), Black participants viewed the profile of a Biracial who self-identified as Black, White, or Biracial and then indicated the extent to which they perceived them as an ingroup member. Study 2b ( = 183) followed a similar design as Study 1 except that Black participants received rejection feedback from a Biracial online partner who self-identified as Black, White, or Biracial.
In Study 1, participants considered Black and Biracial partners to be more of an ingroup member than White partners and, in turn, were less likely to attribute rejection feedback to discrimination. In Study 2, participants perceived Biracials who self-identified as White, versus Black or Biracial, to be less of an ingroup member (Study 2a, 2b) and, in turn, were more likely to attribute rejection feedback to discrimination (Study 2b).
Findings suggest that Blacks' perception of a Biracial's ingroup membership affects their attributions to discrimination following social rejection. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2019 APA, all rights reserved).
本研究考察了黑人在将黑人、白人和黑白混血儿（以下简称混血儿）归类为内群体成员方面是否存在差异，以及这些归类是否预测了他们将拒绝反馈归因于歧视的程度。
在研究 1（n=115）中，黑人参与者收到了来自黑人、白人或混血儿在线伴侣的拒绝反馈，然后表明他们认为自己的伴侣多大程度上是他们种族内群体的一部分，以及他们多大程度上将拒绝反馈归因于歧视。在研究 2a（n=92）中，黑人参与者查看了一位自认为是黑人、白人或混血儿的混血儿的个人资料，然后表明他们认为自己是内群体成员的程度。研究 2b（n=183）遵循了与研究 1 类似的设计，只是黑人参与者收到了来自自认为是黑人、白人或混血儿的混血儿在线伴侣的拒绝反馈。
在研究 1 中，参与者认为黑人伙伴和混血儿伙伴更像是内群体成员，因此不太可能将拒绝反馈归因于歧视。在研究 2 中，参与者认为自认为是白人的混血儿，而不是黑人或混血儿，是内群体成员的程度较低（研究 2a，2b），因此更有可能将拒绝反馈归因于歧视（研究 2b）。
研究结果表明，黑人对混血儿内群体成员身份的看法影响了他们在受到社会拒绝后对歧视的归因。
