Adopting the customs of outgroup cultures (e.g., cultural appropriation) is controversial. Across six experiments, we examined perceptions of cultural appropriation from the perspective of Black Americans (N = 2,069), particularly focusing on the identity of the appropriator and its implications for theoretical understanding of appropriation. Participants expressed more negative emotion and considered appropriation of their cultural practices less acceptable than comparable behaviors that were not appropriative (Studies A1-A3). However, participants perceived White appropriators more negatively than Latine (but not Asian) appropriators, ultimately suggesting that negative perceptions of appropriation do not merely stem from concerns about preserving rigid ingroup-outgroup boundaries. We originally predicted that shared oppression experiences would be key to different responses to appropriation. Instead, our findings most strongly supported the notion that differences in judgments of appropriation by different cultural groups are primarily tied to perceptions of similarity (or difference) across groups-rather than oppression similarity itself. For example, when Asian Americans and Black Americans were framed as part of a common ingroup, Black American participants expressed less negativity toward Asian Americans' appropriative acts. These findings suggest that perceived similarities or shared experiences shape the likelihood of welcoming outgroups into one's cultural practices. More broadly, they suggest that the construction of identities is key to perceptions of appropriation, even independent from the way in which people appropriate.

少数民族内部关系在文化挪用观念中的作用。

采用外群体文化的习俗（例如文化挪用）是有争议的。通过六个实验，我们从美国黑人 (N = 2,069) 的角度审视了对文化挪用的看法，特别关注挪用者的身份及其对挪用理论理解的影响。参与者表达了更多的负面情绪，并认为对其文化习俗的挪用比不挪用的类似行为更难以接受（研究 A1-A3）。然而，参与者对白人占有者的看法比拉丁裔（但不是亚洲人）占有者更为消极，这最终表明对占有的负面看法不仅仅源于对保留严格的内群体与外群体界限的担忧。我们最初预测，共同的压迫经历将是对挪用采取不同反应的关键。相反，我们的研究结果最有力地支持了这样一种观点，即不同文化群体对挪用判断的差异主要与群体间相似性（或差异性）的认知有关，而不是压迫相似性本身。例如，当亚裔美国人和黑人美国人被视为共同内群体的一部分时，黑人参与者对亚裔美国人的挪用行为表现出较少的消极情绪。这些发现表明，感知到的相似性或共同经历决定了欢迎外群体进入一个人的文化实践的可能性。更广泛地说，他们认为身份的构建是挪用观念的关键，甚至独立于人们的使用方式。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2023 APA，保留所有权利）。
