Research Of Stereotypic Inter-out Group Effect

Stereotype is a base topic of social cognition. Stereotype can be divided into two levels: implicit level and explicit level. It had been prove that implicit stereotype and explicit stereotype can be separated. Some one will evaluate the group which he or she belongs to more positive, and evaluate other groups more passive. We name this phenomenon "inter-out group effect". People show serious ingroup bias in most researches. But, Outgroup Bias is also found in disadvantaged group by some other researches.In four experiments we make further research on the stereotype ingroup bias to find out the feature of implicit stereotype and explicit stereotype, of advantaged group and disadvantaged group. We use Stereotypic Explanatory Bias to measure the implicit stereotype. The result shows: (1) People in advantaged group show ingroup bias in both implicit stereotype and explicit stereotype. The implicit attitude and explicit attitude are just alike in advantaged group. (2) People in disadvantaged group show quite a bit outgroup bias in implicit stereotype, and show both outgroup bias and ingroup bias in explicit stereotype. The implicit attitude and explicit attitude of disadvantaged group people is different. (3) In explicit attitude angle, both advantaged and disadvantaged group show ingroup bias. It displays the energy of esteem in group bias. (4) In implicit attitude angle, ingroup bias of advantaged group and outgroup bias of disadvantaged are accord with the social expectation. (5) Stereotypic Explanatory Bias is an effective measure of measuring implicit group bias attitude of stereotyping.
