Examples of In-group favoritism in the following topics:
-
- Several of these biases have especially impactful intersections with diverse groups.
- Examples include the false-consensus bias, status quo bias, in-group favoritism, and stereotyping.
- This bias is especially prevalent in group settings where people think the collective opinion of their own group matches that of the larger population and, sometimes by extension, that those who do not agree with them are somehow defective.
- This bias relies on a tendency toward homophily (the tendency of similar types of individuals to form groups), as in-group favoritism is the tendency for individuals to provide preferential treatment to those of a similar perspective or disposition.
- It is likely a result, at least in part, of in-group favoritism.
-
- Prejudice is a negative attitude and feeling toward an individual based solely on one’s membership in a particular social group (Allport, 1954; Brown, 2010).
- In fact, simply imagining interacting with members of different cultural groups might affect prejudice.
- Indeed, when experimental participants were asked to imagine themselves positively interacting with someone from a different group, this led to an increased positive attitude toward the other group and an increase in positive traits associated with the other group.
- Prejudice often begins in the form of a stereotype—that is, a specific belief or assumption about individuals based solely on their membership in a group, regardless of their individual characteristics.
- Apply the concepts of in-group favoritism and prejudice to a real-life situation
-
- In-groups are social groups to which an individual feels he or she belongs, while an individual doesn't identify with the out-group.
- In-group favoritism refers to a preference and affinity for one's in-group over the out-group or anyone viewed as outside the in-group.
- A key notion in understanding in-group/out-group biases is determining the psychological mechanism that drives the bias.
- Intergroup aggression is a by product of in-group bias, in that if the beliefs of the in-group are challenged or if the in-group feels threatened, then they will express aggression toward the out-group.
- Recall two of the key features of in-group biases toward out-groups

- Recent growth in overall income inequality has been driven mostly by increasing inequality in wages and salaries.
- Recent growth in overall income inequality has been driven mostly by increasing inequality in wages and salaries.
- Discrimination and favoritism in the workplace has continued to limit advancement of minority groups and women, but evidence reveals that wage related impacts to marginalized groups diminish with the increase in educational attainment.
- The market for labor is not completely transparent, competition is imperfect, information unevenly distributed, opportunities to acquire education and skills unequal, and since many such imperfect conditions exist in virtually every market, there is in fact little presumption that markets are in general efficient.
- One way in which governments attempt to decrease income inequality is through progressive taxation.
-
- "Group behavior" refers to the ways people behave in large- or small-group situations.
- Favoritism—Members of the same group tend to be positively prejudiced toward other members and discriminate in their favor.
- Groupthink is a psychological phenomenon that occurs within a group of people, in which the desire for harmony or conformity in the group results in an incorrect or deviant decision-making outcome.
- What appears to happen in groups is that discussion leads to a significant shift in the position of the members to a more extreme position in the direction they were all already leaning.
- A group of moderate liberals may shift from moderate to strongly liberal views when in a group together.
-
- Negative prejudice is rarely seen in response to one's own group, or ingroup.
- Researchers have found that ingroup favoritism, or preference for members of the group one belongs to, can occur even when the group had no prior social meaning.
- Experiments have shown that when participants were assigned to groups based on something as trivial as a coin toss, those participants exhibited ingroup favoritism, giving preferential treatment to members of their own group.
- Another example of this phenomenon was noted in a study in which researchers asked 90 sorority members to judge the degree of within-group similarity for their own group and two other groups.
- Then, the groups were entered in competition with one another in various camp games for prizes, which caused both groups to develop negative attitudes and behaviors towards the outgroup.
-
- If you need a formal definition of "trusted", you can use "anyone who has had commit access for two years or more" or something like that, to avoid favoritism.
- This is the group that will handle security bugs.
- For the list to be effective, you must advertise its address, of course; but given that it will be unmoderated and, at most, lightly spam-protected, try to never to post its address without some sort of address-disguising transformation, as described in the section called "Address hiding in archives" in Technical Infrastructure.

- The student will evaluate if there is a significant relationship between favorite type of snack and gender.
- Looking at the above chart, does it appear to you that there is dependence between gender and favorite type of snack food?

- The Baoulé (or Baule) are an Akan people, and are one of the largest groups in Côte d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast).
- They live essentially in the middle of Cote d'Ivoire between the Comoé River and the Bandama River.
- One of the favorite Baoulé pastimes is the game "Atté," which is similar to the North American version of marbles.
- An odd number of nuts are placed in a circular pattern in the central space between two opposing teams.
- The sculptures are executed in a range of media, including gold, bronze, and ivory.
-
- Patients in the treatment group received a transplant, and those in the control group did not.
- The table below displays how many patients survived and died in each group.
- A hypothesis test would reject the conclusion that the survival rate is the same in each group, and so we might like to calculate a confidence interval.
- There is some difference in virologic failure rates between the Nevaripine and Lopinavir groups.
- There is strong evidence of a difference in virologic failure rates between the Nevaripine and Lopinavir groups do not appear to be independent.
