    Subject: Category typicality

    Dear colleagues,

    We are studying how individuals assess co-workers' prototypicality in organizations. We are trying to find some more general theoretical grounding and we are looking for previous research and references  (e.g., in cognitive psychology) on how individuals assess category typicality.  

    Do you have any suggestions?

    Thank you very much for your help,

    Elisa Mattarelli
