from Part II - The Underlying Psychology
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 September 2020
This chapter presents the fundamental psychological links between identity and attributions. Among these attributions are the crucial perceptions of deservingness, as well as the potential for intergroup antagonism. As individuals identify with particular ingroups for their own esteem and security, the esteem and security of that group as a whole becomes compelling. To a certain degree, this shapes the attributes assigned to the ingroup and the outgroups. The contrast between characteristics attributed to the ingroup and an outgroup would serve the drive for esteem if the ingroup is perceived as superior to a particular outgroup or to outgroups in general.
