Out-Group Homogeneity (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The out-group homogeneity effect is one's perception of out-group members as more similar to one another than are in-group members, e.g. "they are alike; we are diverse." The term "outgroup homogeneity effect," or "relative outgroup homogeneity" has been explicitly contrasted with "outgroup homogeneity" in general, the latter referring to perceived outgroup variability unrelated to perceptions of the ingroup.The out-group homogeneity effect has been found using a wide variety of different social groups, from political and racial groups to age and gender groups.
