Cultural appropriation has been described and discussed within academic and everyday discourse, but little research has examined its role in the psychological context of intergroup relations. We sought to examine whether minority and majority group members (i.e., Black and White Americans) would differentially judge instances of cultural exchange as cultural appropriation. Five experiments (3 were preregistered on OSF) using a variety of potential cases of cultural appropriation demonstrated that Black participants were more likely than White participants to view these incidents as appropriation when they involved White perpetrators appropriating Black culture (vs. scenarios of Black perpetrators appropriating White culture), an effect mediated by distinctiveness threat. Black (vs. White) participants were also more likely to perceive White actors who appropriate Black culture as harmful and as intentional. In Study 4, explicit manipulation of distinctiveness threat eliminated the participant race effect: Perceivers viewed White perpetrators as more appropriative than Black perpetrators. When actors were portrayed as using either an ingroup or outgroup cultural product (Study 5), participants perceived use of an outgroup cultural product as more appropriative. Studies 3-5 were preregistered on OSF. This research illuminates how group-based status interacts with and adds to perpetrator prototypically to influence perceptions of cultural appropriation, distinguishes perception of appropriation from perception of racism, and points to the importance of distinctiveness threat as a contributor to differential race-based perceptions. Implications of perceiving cultural appropriation for intergroup relations are discussed. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved).

新的身份盗窃：群体间文化挪用的认知。

文化挪用已经在学术和日常话语中被描述和讨论，但很少有研究检查它在群体间关系的心理背景中的作用。我们试图检查少数族裔和多数族裔成员（即美国黑人和白人）是否会将文化交流的实例区别地判断为文化挪用。使用各种潜在的文化挪用案例的五项实验（3 个在 OSF 上预先注册）表明，当涉及白人肇事者挪用黑人文化时，黑人参与者比白人参与者更有可能将这些事件视为挪用（与黑人肇事者挪用的情景相比）白人文化），一种由独特性威胁介导的影响。黑色（对比 白人）参与者也更有可能认为将黑人文化视为有害和故意的白人演员。在研究 4 中，对显着性威胁的显性操纵消除了参与者种族效应：感知者认为白人肇事者比黑人肇事者更专有权。当演员被描绘成使用内群体或外群体文化产品时（研究 5），参与者认为使用外群体文化产品更具有占有性。研究 3-5 已在 OSF 上预先注册。这项研究阐明了基于群体的地位如何与肇事者相互作用，并以原型方式影响对文化挪用的看法，将挪用的看法与种族主义的看法区分开来，并指出了独特性威胁作为不同种族认知的促成因素的重要性。讨论了感知文化挪用对群际关系的影响。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2020 APA，保留所有权利）。
