People belong to multiple social groups, and the meaning of these groups to others shifts as nonverbal, emotional, and other contextual cues in the environment also change. As such, social categories are both intersectional—in that the overlapping nature of categories affects how a person is perceived—and dynamic—in that perceivers continuously monitor and update their category-based perceptions in light of new information. Yet, social-cognitive research has often treated social categories as independent and fixed. In contrast, the studies in this special issue acknowledge the intersectional and dynamic nature of social categories. Seven articles examine how perceivers categorize targets according to their multiple social identities and, subsequently, how stereotypes are shaped by overlapping and shifting social categories. As such, the articles in this issue reveal social processes that may be otherwise obscured when identities are treated in research as independent and fixed rather than as intersectional and dynamic.

社会认知中的交叉和动态社会类别

人们属于多个社会群体，随着环境中非语言，情感和其他上下文线索的变化，这些群体对其他人的含义也发生了变化。这样，社交类别既是交叉的，因为类别的重叠性质会影响人们的感知方式，又是动态的，因为感知者会根据新信息不断监视和更新基于类别的感知。但是，社会认知研究经常将社会类别视为独立和固定的类别。相反，本期特刊的研究承认社会类别的交叉性和动态性。七篇文章探讨了感知者如何根据他们的多种社会身份对目标进行分类，以及随后如何通过重叠和转移社会类别来塑造定型观念。因此，
