Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In-group favouritism refers to the tendency of people to give preferential treatment to others who belong to the same group as they do, while out-group homogeneity bias is the perception that members of an out-group are more similar to each other than they actually are. Both of these biases contribute to prejudice by promoting negative attitudes and beliefs about people who are not considered part of one's own group.
