Archer (1987) suggests adopting an approach which assumes the influence of all social categorizations, rather than simply gender, on psychological subjects.

Although, social categorization usually occurs spontaneously on the basis of proximity, similarities, or even shared fate, it is not completely uncontrollable or unalterable.

Moreover, and although some researchers have treated it as such, social identity theory was never intended to be a general theory of social categorization.

Thus, social categorization is still conceived as a haphazardly floating 'independent variable' which strikes at random as the spirit moves it.

This literally means that, like the café waiter, the speaker is not his condition or social categorization, but is a speaker consumed by bad faith.

When people define and talk about a particular conception of race, they create a social reality through which social categorization is achieved.

Garcia and his colleagues focus on the perspective of impartial third-party observers and the psychological aspects of social categorization.
