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).

最小组范式的起源。

亨利·塔伊费尔（Henri Tajfel）和他的同事在1970年代初发布的最小群体范式是一种广泛使用的实验技术，用于研究群体间的感知和行为。它以原始形式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这些组的其他（匿名）成员。通常，在这些奖励分配中会观察到偏向群体的歧视。在本文中，我考察了这种范式的历史渊源，并指出该范式最早是由另一位社会心理学家Jaap Rabbie于1960年代提出的，尽管他很少相信这一事实。还讨论了拉比，泰伊费尔和特纳之间关于范式的性质和解释的知识分歧。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2020 APA，
