This finding is consistent with other research demonstrating that perceivers use a heuristic of gender inversion for making sexual orientation categorizations [22], [34].
We predicted that an orthogonal social category that is itself gendered, race, would impact both sexual orientation categorizations and their accuracy.
Among male targets, sexual orientation categorizations were 11% more accurate for Blacks, but 11% less accurate for Asians, relative to Whites, B = −.1104, SE = .0489, z = −2.26, p = .024, OR = .8955.8955
The categorization into goal orientation, relationships and organization/regulation may help educators restructure existing instruments or develop new ones in such a way that they cover the entire educational environment adequately.
Similar to previous work on the categorization of male sexual orientation from full faces, participants' estimated accuracy was not correlated with their actual accuracy in judging the faces: r(21) = −.07, p = .76.76
CST consists of 14 sessions that include various topics such as word association, object categorization, discussion of current affairs, and orientation.
Alternatively, priming could occur at a relatively coarse (and orientation-invariant) level of processing, sufficient for object categorization (e.g., as an animal), but not for specific identification (e.g., as a cat).
The categorization is empirically warranted by means of participant orientation in both typical and deviant cases, demonstrating the robustness of the phenomena.
As can be observed in Table 1, the majority of tasks employed up to now (80%%) involve only perceptual processing (comparing pictures, line lengths, line orientations, etc).. Another frequent task has been digit categorization (16.36 %).
When Lick and Johnson studied this social categorization in the laboratory, they found that people categorized as gay were viewed less favorably than people categorized as straight, in part because their sexual orientation and gendered appearance were processed more slowly.
