The minimal group paradigm, published by Henri Tajfel and his colleagues in the early 1970s, is a widely used experimental technique for studying intergroup perceptions and behavior. In its original form, it involved the assignment of participants to one of two meaningless categories and asking them to make allocations of rewards to other (anonymous) members of those groups. Typically, discrimination in favor of the ingroup is observed in those reward allocations. In this article, I examine the historical origins of this paradigm, noting that it was first mooted by another social psychologist, Jaap Rabbie, in the 1960s, although he is seldom credited with this fact. The intellectual disagreements between Rabbie, Tajfel, and Turner over the nature and interpretation of the paradigm are also discussed. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved).
最小群体范式由 Henri Tajfel 和他的同事于 20 世纪 70 年代初提出，是一种广泛用于研究群体间感知和行为的实验技术。最初，它涉及将参与者分配到两个无意义的类别之一，并要求他们将奖励分配给那些群体中的其他（匿名）成员。通常，在这些奖励分配中观察到有利于内群体的歧视。在本文中，我考察了这一范式的历史渊源，注意到它首先是由另一位社会心理学家 Jaap Rabbie 在 20 世纪 60 年代提出的，尽管他很少因此而受到赞誉。还讨论了 Rabbie、Tajfel 和 Turner 之间关于范式的性质和解释的智力分歧。
