“…A possible reason for these nonsignificant results might be that children's responses on the social identity scale were strongly skewed, with children tending to rate themselves as very identified with their Turkish social group. The effect of social identity on mental state understanding might be more evident in adults, who are likely to differ in social identity levels (Falomir-Pichastor & Frederic, 2013;Gabarrot, Falomir-Pichastor & Mugny, 2009).…”

The Capricious Nature of Theory of Mind: Does Mental State Understanding Depend on the Characteristics of the Target?

Using a between‐groups design and random assignment, this study examined 214 Turkish children's (M = 11.66 years) mindreading and general reasoning about in‐group members (Turks), similar out‐group members (Syrians within Turkey) and dissimilar out‐group members (Northern Europeans). Children heard four mindreading and four general reasoning stories with in‐group or out‐group members as targets. Whereas children's general reasoning about three groups was equivalent, accuracy of mental state inferences differed by target with more accurate mindreading of in‐group targets compared to both sets of out‐group targets. In this Turkish sample, mindreading of Syrian targets was the least accurate. Prejudice and perceived realistic threat predicted lower mindreading. These findings have important implications for understanding how similarity and intergroup processes play a role in children's mindreading.

“…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).…”

“…Doosje et al, 1995;Yalom, 2010). For example, feelings of identification enhance perceived in-group homogeneity (Kelly, 1989;van Twuyver & van Knippenberg, 1998), while high identifiers accentuate in-group homogeneity (Castano & Yzerbyt, 1998;Falomir-Pichastor & Frederic, 2013). Furthermore, literature suggests that in-group homogeneity and identification are correlated (cf.…”

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.

“…Juan M. Falomir-Pichastor and Natasha S. Frederic draw attention to the negative side of heterogeneous ingroup identities. Analyzing the phenomenon of national self-identification, they reveal the regularities of immigrants' distorted perspective, and the influence that the prejudices exert on building of relationships therewith (Falomir-Pichastor & Frederic, 2013). The research of I. Griffiths and R. Sharpley discloses the curious impact of nationalism on the tourist-host relationship (Griffiths & Sharpley, 2012).…”

The article explores the topical issue of the study of psychological factors in the formation of national identity, and the evaluation criteria for its constructiveness and destructiveness. The article presents the results of the empirical investigation held under the auspices of the research team of Russian State Social Institute in a number of countries within the former Soviet Union and beyond. The interpretation of the empiric data has enabled the authors to reveal the existing regular correlation between the national consciousness of a person and the characteristics of his/her psychosocial development. The authors familiarize the readers with their view of the nature and psychological mechanisms of formation of the destructive national identity.
