forgotten.” This is an example of ingroup/outgroup. Ingroup is the people who have similar ethnicities, religious beliefs, characteristics the "us" aspect. It says “g-d loves all his children” is the ingroup part of the sentence. G-d loving all his people because we are Americans and people are all similar makes the ingroup. When is says in the second half of the sentence “g-d loves his children is somehow forgotten”, the “somehow forgotten” becomes the outgroup. Outgroup is those who…

versus them mentality. An Ingroups (us) is a social group that one is linked to and identifies with, while and outgroup (them) is a group we’re unable to identify with. Race, gender, occupation, schooling, even sharing the same home town are all examples of groups for which a person can classify themselves into. Throughout this paper I’m going to discuss the negative effects of ingroup and outgroup relationships and the role they play in increasing prejudice and discrimination throughout the…

perfect example of a member of an in-group trying to keep the membership of people in the in-group unique just to them.

By contrast, outgroup are socials group with which an individual does not identify.” For example, if I…

count on his companions just like the average person, and they will rationalize the story that is given and make it seem as if he had to it and condoning his behavior. “Ingroup bias is the tendency to favor one 's own group over the outgroup, including devaluing the outgroup in some cases” (McFeeters 3); Cops will go as far to back each other up during small situation or a large situation such as testifying in court. The goal when backing up a friend is not to say too much and deny until it is…

By thinking abstractly about compassion, my study participants could have been thinking more about ingroups than outgroups. My research is most in line with Baston, Floyd, Meyer and Winner (1999). In this study, Christians were surveyed in relation to an outgroup of homosexuals. My research most compliments this given both were looking specifically at compassion related to an outgroup. Unfortunately, again nothing could be concluded because no one ranked themselves on the upper levels of…

spread thinking towards the Gypsy community leads to natural avoidance from one of the groups to the other. Precisely that is the reason why the mechanism of the intergroup contact hypothesis would be a very useful tool for desolving the negative outgroup opinions. However, the sole use of the hypothesis will not be sufficient enough to remove the old prejudice mindset of Bulgarian citisents. In order to do that the education of the younger generation needs to takes part as well. It has to…

groups. The outgroup includes individuals that are not within an individuals’ ingroup. Groups with higher levels of cohesiveness are more likely to have a higher impact on the group member’s social identity. Groups with high entitativity include fraternities and sororities. Conversely, groups with low entitativity include students in large introductory psychology classes (Lewis and Sherman, 2010). In a research study, college students were assigned to either a target ingroup or outgroup and…

individuals are motivated to preserve social inequities and see their ingroup’s as dominant over other groups. These individuals are likely to show patterns of favoritism towards their ingroup, and could also derogate and dehumanize members of outgroups. Many examples of the Social Dominance theory are seen towards the treatment of Jews. One example in the film is while the Nazis are shooting and killing all the Jews in the ghetto. During this scene, dehumanization towards the Jews is displayed…

shot execution style in the head. This is a violent act of discrimination toward the Jewish culture as this man was doing his best to be a humble worker and he was killed fit it. The three processes of Prejudice are, Individual Differences, Ingroup/Outgroup Processes, and Self Processes. Individual differences include the Authoritarian Personality which is when a person values power and dominance, is intolerant of others who are different. Amon Goeth was a person who used his authoritarian…

right in the middle of the civil rights movement. The movie The Help (Taylor 2011) is an enlightening film depicting a group of women who are deprived of simple luxuries because of the color of their skin. There are many examples of: Modern Racism, Outgroups, System Justification Model, and Social Categorization in this movie. Most of us would say if I lived in that era I wouldn’t stand by and do nothing while these people are treated the way they were I would do something. But in all honesty…
