Chapter 6 SP

Question 1

minority vs majority groups: hoe raten mensen zichzelf tov deze groups?

Answer 1

group totaal: slechte performance = zelf beter dan gemiddeld, goede performance = zelf slechter dan gemiddeld.

minority: slechte performance = zelf ook slechter dan gemiddeld, goede performance = zelf ook beter dan gemiddeld.

majority: slechte performance = equal aan gemiddeld, goede performance = equal aan gemiddeld.

performance was van 1 member van de groep.

dus majorities do not compare themselves to minorities.
minorities do not compare themselves to other people from their group, but they share the positive or negative image of the other person in the group.

People can also disidentify from a group by publicly criticizing and devaluing an

as unrepresentative of the group.

cross-categorization

Answer 43

some members are ingroups in one dimension and outgroups in another (vrouw en wit) -> reduces intergroup discrimination against members of partially overlapping ingroups.
maar zorgt eigenlijk meer voor redirection of prejudice, want mensen die dubbel outgroup zijn worden nog meer gehaat, zelfs nadat mensen met ingroup en outgroup meer liefde krijgen.
