Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Jasmin is exhibiting an in-group bias, which is the tendency to favor one's own group or those perceived as part of one's group over those from outside the group. In this case, her preference for associating only with members of the chess club and her belief that they are more intelligent than non-members reflect this bias.
