Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is a commonly accepted concept in social psychology known as the "in-group bias". It suggests that people are more likely to identify with and feel loyal to those who are seen as being part of their own group, and thus more influenced by leaders who are also part of that group. Out-group followers, on the other hand, may not feel the same level of connection or loyalty, and therefore may be less influenced by leaders who are not part of their group.
