- Title
Inherence heuristic versus essentialism: Issues of antecedence and cognitive mechanism.
- Authors
Yzerbyt, Vincent Y.; Demoulin, Stéphanie
- Abstract
We argue (1) that the empirical evidence offered by die authors is insufficient to sustain their claim; (2) that, beyond methodological problems, the proposed underlying cognitive mechanism is largely speculative and that a reverse, more motivational, path is equally plausible; and (3) that the distinction and antecedence of inherence intuitions with respect to essentialist beliefs remain to lie demonstrated.
