try to measure intergroup biases with many scales

economic perspective-economic resources importnatn in biases

motivational perspective-do favours for in-group due to motivation

cognitive perspective-that biases affect cognitions

beliefs about characterisitcs of members of particular groups 

i.e. japanese are hard workers; beliefs about the characterisitcs. 

a commonly (negative) attitude or affective response toward a certain group 

i.e. Trump lovers are stupid

biased (commonly unfair) treatment of members of a particular group based on being in that group 

i.e. one mexican is a drug dealer so all mexicans are drug dealers

Subjectively positive intergroup processes (sterotype, prejudice, or discrimnation) towards groups. 

May not feel positive to targets

Racisim i.e. your tall you can fix the light bulb 

Sexisim i.e. house wife, Frozen movie where the princess saves herself instead of having someone save her

prejudice directed at racial groups, that is is paired with a rejection of explicitly racist beliefs.

i.e OFR- white and black marrying vs MR discrimination is no longer a problem

revealing unconsciou prejudies toward partcular groups based on reaction time

i.e. showing pictures of black people and then showing words and how they assicociate Black-good or Black- bad 

either positive or negative assosiations 

group conflict is likley to arise over competition between groups for limited desired resources. 

i.e.you take over your parents jobs but then you are told that other people from another country will take your job and force you into unemployment. you would probably be upset and feel threatned at the newly arrived group. 

glorifying ones own group while vilifying others

i.e conflict often leads to ehtnocentrism, like in the case of the nazis attitudes towards the jews.

group conflicts and hositlity quickly develop as a result of simple competiton

only superordinate goals successfully helped them reconstruct their intergourp relationships
