Document Summary
Its not possible to know every one that is part of your racial group. ~u don"t have to know everyone in order to be part of that social group. Intergroup processes: when different groups interact with others or think about others, could be overall perception of certain group doesn"t have to be interaction. Easier way :vicariously, u feel u are a little bit better b/c your group is better. Categorization-v categorize people in to group very quickly. People who are high in cognition need don"t stereotype as much as people in low cognition need. We categorize people based on shared features, these shared features can be extremely trivial- minimal groups-in-group and out groups can be formed on superficial features. ~categorization happens immediately and happens on superficial things. Effects are dependent on how much you identify yourself with that group. Comparison- how u compare your group to other groups.
