Assignment task: In social psychology, an in-group is defined as "a social group to which a person psychologically identifies as being a member. In comparison, the out-group is a social group with whom an individual does not identify." Think of a stereotype of a social, political, or religious "out-group" and a contrasting in-group.
1) What are the positive and negative characteristics associated with the "out-group" and the "in-group"?
2) How would you design an experiment based on the Implicit Attitudes Test paradigm that would test the unconscious bias that people might have toward the out-group in comparison to the in-group?
3) What are your hypotheses (predictions) about the outcome of the study?
