AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The Outgroup Bias is the psychological tendency to have a dislike for other people that are outside of one’s own identity group. For example, if you are a fan of a football team, you are likely to dislike a fan of a rival football team, even if you admire the person.

Detailed explanation-2: -In sociology and social psychology, an in-group is a social group to which a person psychologically identifies as being a member. By contrast, an out-group is a social group with which an individual does not identify.

Detailed explanation-3: -In our setting, we operationally define in-group favouritism as the difference between an allocation to the in-group and that to the neutral out-group; and out-group discrimination as the difference between an allocation to the rival group (the political opponent) and that to the neutral out-group.

Detailed explanation-4: -Outgroup bias causes us to look down on members of outgroups and exclude them in various ways, such as by refusing to share resources with them. Outgroup bias often takes the form of outright hostility. For example, fans of rival sports teams tend to describe their opponents in terms of their unfavorable qualities.
