intragroup or Intergroup Attitude projection can increase opinion certainty is there classism at college 1
Journal of Applied Social Psychology, 2003Co-Authors: Rolf HoltzAbstract:Two processes were examined by which estimation of the Attitude positions of others can increase opinion certainty. In Study 1, sophomore and senior students exhibited greater conviction about their own opinions following an opportunity to estimate the Attitudes of in-group members compared to persons who did not receive this opportunity. In an out-group projection condition, as expected, reduced Attitude similarity to freshman students augmented the opinion certainty of sophomores only. In this condition, sophomore opinion certainty was predicted by their perceived status similarity to the freshman out-group. In Study 2, the relationships between Intergroup status similarity, projected Intergroup Attitudes, and increments in opinion certainty were reexamined and replicated. These findings are discussed in accord with the motivational and cognitive factors that account for the interface between group dynamics and Attitude strength.

The Positive Role of Ethnic Identity in Intergroup Attitude
2009Co-Authors: Zhang YingAbstract:As the development of social identity theory, social psychologists have focused on the relationship between ethnic identity and inter-group Attitude. Social identity theory suggested that group identity was the basis of inter-group Attitudes, ethnic identity was too strong to lead to negative Intergroup Attitudes. A developmental perspective offered a model of positive role of Ethnic identity on Intergroup Attitudes. The recent studies have provided evidence that a well-developed ethnic identity is associated with positive Intergroup Attitudes.

Intergroup contact and Intergroup Attitudes: a longitudinal study
European Journal of Social Psychology, 2006Co-Authors: Rupert Brown, Anja Eller, Sarah Leeds, Kim StaceAbstract:A longitudinal study (N=109) of interschool contact and Attitudes was conducted to test Allport's (1954) Contact Hypothesis and Brown and Hewstone's (2005) addendum to it on the moderating role of typicality in the contact-Attitude relationship. Three different measures of Intergroup Attitude were employed, including a new measure of infrahumanisation (Leyens et al., 2000). Support for the hypotheses was found on all three measures in the longitudinal analyses. Quantity of contact with a member of the outgroup was consistently associated with more favourable Attitudes towards the outgroup as a whole. Importantly, contact was found to predict Attitude but the reverse causal path was not significant. Also, on one measure there was an indication that the effects of contact quality were more beneficial when the contact persons were seen as typical of the outgroup than when they were not. It is concluded that, as originally hypothesised by Allport, contact with members of an outgroup can improve Intergroup Attitudes, but especially if those people can be seen as representative of their group.

Out-group value incongruence and Intergroup Attitude: The roles of common identity and multiculturalism
International Journal of Intercultural Relations, 2011Co-Authors: Yanjun Guan, Maykel Verkuyten, Helene Hoi-lam Fung, Michael Bond, Sylvia Xiaohua Chen, Charles Ching-hai ChanAbstract:Abstract This research was designed to examine the moderation roles of common social identity and multiculturalism on the established relationship between Mainland Chinese's perceived value incongruence with Hong Kong Chinese and their negative Attitude towards Hong Kong Chinese. A survey study was conducted among 202 college students in Mainland China and the results showed Mainland Chinese's value incongruence with Hong Kong Chinese significantly predicted their negative Intergroup Attitude. In addition, the results also revealed that among participants with high identification with the super-ordinate Chinese national group, this negative relation was significantly weaker than those with low Chinese identification. In addition, among participants with high multiculturalism endorsement, the relation between value incongruence and Intergroup Attitude was significantly weaker than those with low level of multiculturalism. Implications of this research and future directions were discussed based on these findings.
