Abstract
How can apparently civilized individuals behave compassionately toward members of their own group but cruelly toward members of outgroups? Social psychological explanations suggest that antagonistic intergroup behavior is motivated by realistic intergroup conflict (Sherif & Sherif, 1953) and by gains for one’s social identity (Tajfel, 1981). An important channel through which these motivations are held to work is by promoting the growth of stereotypes that denigrate outgroups.
