Document Summary
A threat to the ingroup can result in more important identification with the ingroup. Ostovich only viewed her identification of being canadian as important once she moved to the states. Outgroup homogeneity: all members of the outgroup have the same qualities: we also have the tendency to pick up on negative traits of outgroup members and then apply them to all members of the group. Ingroup heterogeneity: all members of the ingroup are unique individuals: this makes us think more deeply about interactions with members. Minimal groups: tell people that they belong to an unimportant, meaningless group, and withhold communication between group members. E. g. create groups based on whether heads or tails has been flipped. Had boys estimate number of dots on a slide, pretended to score them, separated them into under-estimators and over-estimators. Gave boys the opportunity to give rewards to one another.
