Key Concepts

Social Identity Theory

Social identity theory explains how individuals derive a sense of self from the groups to which they belong. This theory is crucial for understanding in-group bias, as it describes the process of group categorization and the emphasis people place on group membership for self-esteem and identity, which can lead to preferential treatment of one’s own group.

In-Group Bias

In-group bias refers to the tendency to favor members of one’s own group over those in other groups. This bias can manifest in various ways, including positive evaluations of in-group members and unfair discrimination against out-group members, highlighting a key consequence of this psychological phenomenon.

Intergroup Discrimination

Intergroup discrimination involves treating members of an out-group less favorably compared to those in one’s in-group. This concept is a direct outcome of in-group bias and is central to understanding how group affiliations can lead to prejudiced behaviors and unequal treatment in social contexts.
