In- and Out-Groups

28.5K
People all belong to a gender, race, age, and social economic group. These groups provide a powerful source of our identity and self-esteem (Tajfel & Turner, 1979) and serve as our in-groups. An in-group is a group that we identify with or see ourselves as belonging to.

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

77.8K
Humans are very diverse and although we share many similarities, we also have many differences. The social groups we belong to help form our identities (Tajfel, 1974). These differences may be difficult for some people to reconcile, which may lead to prejudice toward people who are different. 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). Prejudice is common against people who...

Robbers Cave

13.5K
During the 1950s, the landmark Robbers Cave experiment demonstrated that when groups must compete with one another, intergroup conflict, hostility, and even violence may result. At the Oklahoman summer camp, two troops of boys—termed the Rattlers and the Eagles—took part in a week-long tournament. During this time, their negativity culminated in derogatory name-calling, fistfights, and even vandalism and destruction of property. However, this work also revealed that such tension...

Aggression01:47

Aggression

19.1K
Humans engage in aggression when they seek to cause harm or pain to another person. Aggression takes two forms depending on one’s motives: hostile or instrumental. Hostile aggression is motivated by feelings of anger with intent to cause pain; a fight in a bar with a stranger is an example of hostile aggression. In contrast, instrumental aggression is motivated by achieving a goal and does not necessarily involve intent to cause pain (Berkowitz, 1993); a contract killer who murders for...

Group Polarization01:01

Group Polarization

31.3K
Group polarization is the strengthening of an original group attitude following the discussion of views within a group (Teger & Pruitt, 1967). That is, if a group initially favors a viewpoint, after discussion the group consensus is likely a stronger endorsement of the viewpoint. Conversely, if the group was initially opposed to a viewpoint, group discussion would likely lead to stronger opposition.

Ethnic Identity within a Larger Culture

417
Adolescents from ethnic minority backgrounds face a multifaceted journey in forming their identities, shaped by the intersections of cultural expectations and personal exploration. For these adolescents, identity formation involves not only typical developmental challenges but also navigating the perceptions and attitudes of the majority culture. As they grow, adolescents in ethnic minority groups often become increasingly aware of stereotypes, social biases, and discrimination, all of which...

Area of Science:

  • Social Psychology
  • Sociolinguistics
  • Communication Studies

Background:

  • Individuals often strive to appear moral and reasonable, even when expressing prejudiced views.
  • Understanding the communication strategies used to legitimize harmful ideologies is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify interactional practices that support White nationalism as part of a positive identity.
  • To analyze how White nationalism and related violence are explained, justified, and rationalized.

Main Methods:

  • Membership Categorisation Analysis (MCA)
  • Conversation Analysis (CA)
  • Analysis of 24 public video recordings for mentions of White nationalism/supremacy.

Main Results:

  • Identified 16 instances of 'White nationalist remediation'—practices normalizing these views.
  • Demonstrated that individuals not identifying as White nationalists use similar tactics.
  • Observed practices that signal followers, present beliefs as defensible, and normalize White nationalism.

Conclusions:

  • Communication practices can protect and normalize White nationalist views and actions, including violence.
  • These normalization tactics are employed by both self-avowed and non-avowed White nationalists.
  • The findings highlight the subtle ways extremist ideologies can be integrated into public discourse.
