Automatic differentiation between us and them us = the groups we belong to, them = the groups we do not belong to. Anything can be an in group is whatever you feel you belong to and vice versa for out groups. Female (5) male, psych student (4) engineer, glasses (1) 20/20 vision. Rate them on importance, from 1 (not at all important) to 5 (very important) Do you feel that your ingroup is better, in any way, than the corresponding out group? (yes/no) When our in group is seen as inferior it can be harmful. Out-group homogeneity (they are all the same) Self esteem. (if one member of our in group are bad people we can cope with this by saying all members are different. ) Even in-groups you don"t have a strong connection to. Wanted to remove any affect of baggage assoc with belonging to one group or another.
