People don’t just categorize more when meta-contrast is high —
They prefer to use the dimension with the stronger relative meta-contrast when several are available.
It’s like how the same mean difference feels “bigger” when the groups themselves are less variable.
Low within-group variance = stronger affordance to categorize along that line.
If they’re messy and (almost) overlapping, not so much.
We suggest it depends on the information ecology — the distribution of cues we use to infer who belongs where.
That’s well known.
But what’s less clear: why one category dimension dominates in a given situation. Why gender here but race there?

Verena Heidrich, Felicitas Flade & I ask:
When people meet others, which social lens do they use — age, gender, race?
Our paper: “Face the Difference: Meta-contrast as an Affordance to Spontaneous Social Categorization.”
