In intergroup contexts, people may fear being judged negatively because of an identity they hold. For some, the prospect of concealment offers an opportunity to attenuate this fear. Therefore, believing an identity is concealable may minimize people's fears of identity-based judgment. Here, we explore the construct of subjective identity concealability: the belief that an identity one holds is concealable from others. Across four pre-registered studies and a set of internal meta-analyses, we develop and validate a scale to measure individual differences in subjective identity concealability and provide evidence that it is associated with lower levels of the psychological costs of fearing judgment in intergroup contexts.

在群体间情境中，人们可能会因自身所具有的某种身份而害怕受到负面评价。对一些人来说，隐瞒身份的可能性提供了减轻这种恐惧的机会。因此，相信某种身份是可以隐瞒的，可能会减少人们对基于身份的评价的恐惧。在此，我们探讨主观身份可隐瞒性这一概念：即相信自己所具有的某种身份能够对他人隐瞒。通过四项预先注册的研究以及一系列内部元分析，我们开发并验证了一个量表，用以测量主观身份可隐瞒性方面的个体差异，并提供证据表明，它与群体间情境中害怕受到评价所带来的较低心理成本相关。所有研究的开放材料、数据和代码、研究1 - 4的预先注册信息以及在线补充材料可在以下链接找到：https://osf.io/pzcf9/ 。
