Drawing on self-categorization theory, we suggest that similarity to the minority ingroup depends on self-perceptions of physical appearance and connectedness to the minority ingroup. Moreover, we argue that similarity to the ingroup determines self-categorization as minority, which predicts category-based entitlements such as perceived eligibility for minority resources (e.g., affirmative action). Using path analysis, we found support for this model on a convenience sample of 107 mixed-race minority\u2013White participants. The results suggest that affective processes rather than observable characteristics such as prototypical physical appearance better predict self-categorization among mixed-race individuals.<\/p>\n<p>Read or purchase the article <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/journal\/10999809\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sources of Self-Categorization as Minority for Mixed-Race Individuals: Implications for Affirmative Action Entitlement Cultural Diversity and Ethnic Minority Psychology Volume 16, Issue 4 (October 2010) Pages 453-460 DOI: 10.1037\/a0020128 Jessica J.
