“…Although I compared an in-group target with a neutral target (and not with an out-group target), those results are consistent with the black-sheep effect (Marquès & Paez, 1994;Marquès, Yzerbyt, & Leyens, 1988). Moreover, they are consistent with the findings of Branscombe et al (1993) that the degree of the evaluator's social identification modulated the black-sheep effect. Such results underline the salience of the evaluator's religious membership in understanding the processes of the religious "halo" effect (Bailey & Garrou, 1983;Isaac, Bailey, & Isaac, 1995) and the religious boomerang effect (Bailey & Young, 1986).…”

ABSTRACT. French Catholic participants (N = 340) with high or low religious identification read 1 of 8 scenarios presented as an interview with a female target 2 months after she had had an abortion. The experimental device varied situational pressure (pressure vs. no pressure), the target's religious social identity (Catholic vs. neutral), and the consequences of abortion for the target (positive vs. negative). The participants then rated the acceptability of the target's decision. The participants judged abortion more negatively in the no-pressure condition. Moreover, the participants with high religious identification judged abortion more negatively than did those with low religious identification. In partial support of a black-sheep effect, the participants with high religious identification judged the Catholic target more negatively than they judged the neutral one in some conditions (pressure, negative consequences). In other conditions (no pressure, both positive and negative consequences), the participants with low religious identification judged the Catholic target more positively than they judged the neutral one.

“…Also, the more people identify with their ingroup, the more their thoughts and behaviours will be guided by what is in the best interest of the ingroup as a whole (Doosje et al, 1999, p. 85). On the other hand, the thoughts and behaviours of people who do not strongly identify with their ingroup are generally much more driven by personal considerations (Branscombe, Wann, Noel, & Coleman, 1993;Branscombe & Wann, 1994;Branscombe et al, 1999). In the current research, effects were stronger for high identifiers, suggesting the phenomenon of intergroup whistle-blowing to be strongly driven by group-based considerations.…”

Who Do We Inform? The Role of Status and Target in Intergroup Whistle-blowing

In two experiments ( n = 87 and n = 90), we showed that strongly identifying members of a low status group are more likely to actively inform the ingroup rather than the outgroup about an outgroup transgression, and consider it as more loyal to the ingroup to do so. Moreover, strongly identifying members of a high status group are more likely to actively inform the outgroup rather than the ingroup about an outgroup transgression, and consider this to be more loyal to the ingroup. The results are in support of the notion that, depending on a group’s existing status position, negative outgroup information can be used to enhance or confirm the ingroup’s standing, affecting whether the ingroup or the outgroup will initially be informed about an outgroup transgression.

“…Nevertheless, the severity of judgment and punishment attributed to ingroup perpetrators is obviously commensurated with several factors such as a clear intention to harm showed by the transgressors (Wang et al 2016;Marques et al 2001b;Abrams et al 2000), the strength of identification with the ingroup (Biernat et al 1999;Branscombe et al 1993;Rullo et al 2015Rullo et al , 2017Otten 2009;Begue 2001) or the impact of the transgression on the overall group' s stereotype (Biernat et al 1999;Castano et al 2002;Abrams et al 2000).…”

Time Heals All (Shallow) Wounds: A Lesson on Forgiveness of Ingroup Transgressors Learned by the Feyenoord Vandal Fans

This paper examines how a social threat posed by a deviant behavior affects second-hand forgiveness over time toward ingroup and outgroup transgressors. In Study 1, using real news reports, we investigated intergroup rivalries between soccer fans in order to understand the role of group membership in predicting the intention to forgive transgressors. Results suggested that transgressors were less likely to be forgiven by ingroup members rather than outgroup members, thus showing evidence of the black sheep effect. In Study 2 (using a different sample), we analyzed the same intergroup rivalries one year after the transgression in order to explore changes in intention to forgive over time. Results showed that, after one year, ingroup members were more likely to forgive ingroup than outgroup transgressors, but only when the threat to the group stereotype was not salient. The implications of the results for the subjective group dynamics theory and for the black sheep effect are discussed.
