摘要:The paper focuses on the specifics of mutual impacts of informational influence and personality features of an individual in situations of ethnic categorization. As it was revealed, the subjects that were presented with materials raising the accessibility of ethnic category used ethnicity more often in the process of ethnic categorization. Of all the social psychological parameters employed in the study, only nationalistic attitudes seem to have visible impact on social categorization based on ethnicity. Also, the study found no mutual impacts of information and attitudes towards ethnic categorization. The outcomes suggest that ethnic categorization may well be not just the function of intragroup processes, but also the result of circumstances of the context.
