Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In-group Bias (also known as in-group favoritism) is the tendency for people to give preferential treatment to others who belong to the same group that they do. This bias shows up even when people are put into groups randomly, making group membership effectively meaningless.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ingroup bias is the tendency to favor individuals that are in the same group as ourselves. We sometimes also call this the affinity bias.

Detailed explanation-3: -In-group favoritism, sometimes known as in-group–out-group bias, in-group bias, intergroup bias, or in-group preference, is a pattern of favoring members of one’s in-group over out-group members. This can be expressed in evaluation of others, in allocation of resources, and in many other ways.

Detailed explanation-4: -A body of literature suggests in-group gender favoritism, so that each gender favors candidates of their own gender in hiring decisions (e.g., Bendick and Nunes 2012). Other literature suggests that women managers also internalize the masculine point of view and implicitly favor men (e.g., Miller 2004).
