“…However, there has been relatively little research into the effect of ingroup identity heterogeneity on attitudes toward outgroups that do not belong to the superordinate category and that do not contribute to this heterogeneity (see Roccas & Amit, 2011). The present research was designed to help fill this gap by examining whether the perceived cultural heterogeneity of an ingroup identity (Swiss national identity) influences the perception of outgroups (immigrants) as threatening.…”

“…In fact, research has shown that perceived ingroup heterogeneity is related to higher intergroup differentiation (Deschamps & Doise, 1978) and that perceived ingroup heterogeneity can increase negative attitudes toward ingroup deviants and outgroups, especially among people with high conservation values (Roccas & Amit, 2011). According to Roccas and Amit, ingroup heterogeneity defines a complex and unpredictable social environment that increases the risk of norm violation and prevents clear and unambiguous distinctions between an ingroup and an outgroup.…”

“…To our knowledge, only two studies confirm such a prediction. A heterogeneous (vs. homogeneous) ingroup identity leads to more outgroup derogation amongst people high on conservative values (Roccas and Amit, 2011) and among high identifiers (Falomir-Pichastor and Frederic, 2013).…”

“…They are also prone to value ingroup homogeneity as a resource and as an important attribute to their identity (Roccas and Amit, 2011). Accordingly, individuals scoring high on conservatism (Roccas and Amit, 2011) or on ingroup identification (FalomirPichastor and Frederic, 2013) express greater prejudice towards an outgroup when confronted with information describing their ingroup identity as heterogeneous (vs. homogeneous).…”

Past research has shown that a heterogeneous (vs. homogeneous) ingroup identity can lead to more outgroup derogation amongst people high on conservative values (Roccas and Amit, 2011) and group identification (Falomir-Pichastor and Frederic, 2013). In three studies we tested the hypotheses that a heterogeneous ingroup identity leads to greater derogation towards immigrants among nationals' high on RWA, and when immigrants constitute a homogeneous (vs. heterogeneous) outgroup. In all studies we assessed RWA. We manipulated the heterogeneity (vs. homogeneity) of ingroup identity in Studies 1-2 and kept the heterogeneous condition constant in Study 3, we also manipulated outgroup heterogeneity (vs. homogeneity) in Studies 2-3. Finally, outgroup derogation was assessed through two different prejudice scales (Studies 1-2) and an intergroup discrimination scale. Results provided consistent evidence in support of the hypotheses. We discuss the implications of these findings regarding social identity theory and intergroup relations.

“…In contrast, heterogeneity describes the extent to which group members are distributed among various subgroups within their group (Blau, 1977) 2013). Moreover, the dissimilar and highly diverse prototypical attributes of heterogeneous groups (Roccas & Amit, 2011) lead to more complex and diverse in-group prototypes and an increased risks of norm violations (Falomir-Pichastor & Frederic, 2013).…”

Research indicates that the homogeneous perception of prototypical attributes influences several intragroup processes. The aim of the present study was to describe the homogeneous perception of the prototype and to identify specific prototypical subcategories, which are perceived as homogeneous within sport teams. The sample consists of N = 20 soccer teams with a total of N = 278 athletes (age M = 23.5 years, SD = 5.0 years). The results reveal that subcategories describing the cohesiveness of the team and motivational attributes are mentioned homogeneously within sport teams. In addition, gender, identification, team size, and the championship ranking significantly correlate with the homogeneous perception of prototypical attributes. The results are discussed on the basis of theoretical and practical implications.
