“…In contrast to Branscombe and Wann (1994), the main effect of threat was not moderated by ingroup identification. Apparently, it is not necessary to identify strongly with a group in order to be susceptible to group threat.…”

“…The main effect of threat is in line with Realistic Group Conflict Theory and Integrated Threat Theory. In contrast, the absence of moderation effects somewhat contradicts Social Identity Theory, which predicts that ingroup threat will have more effect among high identifiers (Branscombe & Wann, 1994). Apparently, being a member of the Flemish ingroup seems sufficient to be sensitive to ingroup threat.…”

“…Moreover, according to Social Identity Theory, the effects of threat can be expected to be moderated by ingroup identification: Because high identifiers attach more importance to their group identity, they will be more likely to adopt negative attitudes in order to restore a threatened positive group image. This would both be the case when ingroup threat occurs on a symbolic (e.g., Branscombe & Wann, 1994) and a material level (e.g., Bizman & Yinon, 2001). …”

“…In general, outgroup derogation is displayed to restore the positive self image that is damaged through the threat information. Because derogating another group does not serve this purpose, it is expected that the negative effects on outgroup attitudes will not spread out to groups that are not involved in the threat induction (Branscombe & Wann, 1994). Nevertheless, in Belgium, it was found that attitudes towards 'new' immigrants (e.g., Polish immigrants) are not differentiated from attitudes towards 'old' immigrants (e.g., Moroccans; Meuleman & Billiet, 2003).…”

. We wish to thank Rupert Brown for reading over an earlier version and for providing helpful comments. In Press, European Journal of PersonalityExamining dispositional and situational effects on outgroup attitudes 1 Abstract Two research lines have dominated the quest for the antecedents of outgroup attitudes. Whereas the first has viewed outgroup attitudes as a result of individual differences, the second stressed the importance of the intergroup situation. In order to investigate the interplay of individual differences and situational characteristics, key predictors of the individual differences perspective (i.e., Right-Wing Authoritarianism or RWA, and Social Dominance Orientation or SDO) and the intergroup relations perspective (i.e., ingroup identification and ingroup threat) were simultaneously tested. Two studies revealed additive but no interaction effects of RWA and SDO, ingroup identification, and threat.Additionally, Study 1 showed that threat effects remain limited to the outgroup that is portrayed as threatening and do not generalize to other outgroups.

Towards an Understanding of the Endogenous Nature of Group Identification in Games

It is commonly assumed that identification with a social group is constant throughout the play of a one-shot game in the absence of feedback. We provide evidence which challenges this assumption. We direct subjects to play one of two versions of the prisoner's dilemma game. These versions are distinguished by the relative attractiveness of the uncooperative action. We refer to the version with a relatively attractive uncooperative action as the Easy Game and the other as the Difficult Game. We find that for the subjects who play the Difficult Game, their change in group identification is significantly related to their action selected. No such relationship exists within the Easy Game. Additionally, we find that the change primarily occurs after the action is selected rather than upon inspection of the game. We discuss the implications of our findings to settings both inside and outside of the laboratory.
