Ingroup bias

The effect of status on ingroup bias of university students Abstract Prior studies report that the status of individuals significantly effects the degree of ingroup bias and outgroup derogation expressed within social groups. In the current study, 360 university students (70% female; Mage = 19.2; SD = 4.2) were randomly assigned to a high-status or low-status group and asked to allocate points to the respective groups. In a secondary round, half the individuals underwent an identity shift to determine

Ingroups, Outgroups, and Their Affect on Behaviors We as humans tend to relate to those that are similar to us, and tend to alienate those that we deem as different than us. Whether it is by race, gender, culture, or religion, it is something that is almost always present in human interactions, and often times can be completely subconscious. In our textbook Interpersonal Communication by Kory Floyd, an ingroup is defined as “A group of people with whom one identifies.” An outgroup is conversely

This essay will be looking to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the social identity theory with studies to support. The Social Identity theory (SIT) was proposed by Henry Tajfel. It was then later developed by Tajfel and Turner in 1971 to help them understand inter group relations. The Social Identity theory assumes that individuals strive to improve their self-image by trying to enhance their self-esteem, through social (in and out groups) and personal identities. There are 4 main concepts

<br> <br>Outgroup homogeneity bias is the tendency to assume that there is greater similarity among members of outgroups than among members of the ingroups as defined by the textbook. An illustration of outgroup homogeneity bias is found in the book when Williams's Uncle Jim "expressed his desire to be stationed in France, the captain became angry and said, "All you colored boys

This entire movie is encased with ingroup bias and outgroups. A great example of this is a scene when the team is at their football camp.

The out-group is where people feel to be, they do not belong to a group and have feeling of exclusion and are often times treated more harshly than someone who belongs to the ingroup. This bias of favoring the ingroup relative to the outgroup leads to false impressions being made and stereotypes forming. Stereotypes help us navigate the world around us by providing a quick representation of what we think a person is like. This does not mean our

avoid the potentially dangerous situation altogether? Also, are people more likely to help someone who is a member of their in-group? Are they less likely to assist a member of their outgroup? Abbott and Cameron found that people have a greater ingroup bias when they have less intergroup interaction. Meaning, those who are more isolated in their own group with little socialization with others, will be less likely to stand up and assist someone in an out-group. These findings are very important to

In Chapter Four of the text, the described process of recognizing any given object begins with the cells in the visual system (previously discussed) which fire when coming across any input carrying specific visual features or patterns: horizontal lines, curves, corners, etc. (Cognition, pg. 107). These cells lend a hand to the broader idea that objects are processed in terms of their smaller parts. Intuitively, it has been found that the more features one attempts to analyze, the less efficient he/she
