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: -DECISION ADVANTAGES We can understand the key benefit of ingroup bias in terms of a system of cooperation known as generalized exchange. In this system, people unilaterally provide help without expecting anything in return.
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Social identity theory states that social behaviour will want a person to change their behaviour while in a group. It varies along a continuum between interpersonal behaviour and intergroup behaviour.
Detailed explanation-5: -The ingroup bias can manifest in a variety of ways. For instance, doing favors for our fellow ingroup comrades, perceiving them as more intelligent, or even being more likely to give them a job.
