Document Summary
Ingroup: a social group to which you belong, you can have multiple ingroups. Outgroup: a social group to which you do not belong. Situations, cognitions, beliefs and feelings that arise when people from different groups interact with or think about each other: or any method that will effect each other. People naturally group other social objects into groups. People naturally group similar objects together (or group people) categorize people on the basis of shared features. can trivially create minimal groups: minimal groups: Ingroups and outgroups formed on trivial, highly context-specific features (features of the current situation hence why someone else wouldn"t necessarily categorize people in the same way) minimal group paradigm: creating ingroups and outgroups from the most minimal of conditions: example: sandal versus sneakers on 1st day of class, blue versus yellow t-shirts distributed in the lab.
