In this paper we investigate intergroup differentiation in different social contexts. Although
low group status motivates group members to display biases favoring the in-group, the …

The present research examined the role of social norms as a determining source of ingroup
favoritism in minimal groups. Across three studies (total N= 814), results showed that …

This study illuminates how social reality affects in-group favoritism in group perceptions.
Members of two student associations (which were expected to have differential status) as …

In two studies we investigated how group variability influences the degree to which in-group
bias is expressed by high and low group identifiers. Group members were provided with …

An experimental paradigm was used to examine how manipulations of group status (higher,
equal, or lower) and group size (smaller, equal, or larger) affect positive allocation bias …

Four experiments addressed the different forms and functions of in-group bias in different
contexts. The authors proposed 2 functions: an identity-expressive function and an …

The current article investigated how individuals evaluate ingroup members displaying either

that the mechanisms of impression formation depend on what information people infer from …

This article examines the impact of social status on two well-known effects in intergroup
perception, the out-group homogeneity effect and the ethnocentrism effect. Researchers …
