John F. Dovidio on Categorization - Dictionary of Arguments

Haslam I 224
Categorization/Dovidio: the distinction between ingroup and outgroup has profound effects resulting in a number of ingroup/outgroup biases (see Dovidio and Gaertner, 2010(1)). Among other things, people
process information more deeply for ingroup than outgroup members,
favour ingroup over outgroup members in evaluations,
are more generous and forgiving in their behavioural attributions of ingroup versus outgroup members,
exhibit a physical readiness to approach ingroup members and avoid outgroup members,
are more helpful toward ingroup versus outgroup members,
are more cooperative toward and trustful of ingroup than
Haslam I 225
outgroup members, and
(g) exercise more personal restraint when using endangered resources with ingroup versus outgroup members.
>Group behavior
, >Groupthink, >Group cohesion.
