Everything about Ingroup Bias totally explained
Ingroup bias is the preferential treatment people give to whom they perceive to be members of their own
groups.
Experiments in
psychology have shown that group members will award one another higher payoffs even when the "group" they share seems random and arbitrary, such as having the same
birthday, having the same final digit in their
U.S. Social Security Number, or even being assigned to the same
flip of a coin.
Ingroup effects appear to be stronger, however, when the group is smaller relative to another high-power group.
This
cognitive bias has been studied extensively by
Henri Tajfel. It is considered a
group-serving bias, as opposed to an
outgroup homogeneity bias.
