Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ingroup bias refers to the tendency to favor members of one's own group (in this case, political party) over members of other groups. Both Kelly and Carlos believe that their own political party is more fair-minded and trustworthy than members of any other party, which is an example of ingroup bias. Outgroup homogeneity refers to the tendency to view members of outgroups as being more similar to each other than they actually are. The just-world phenomenon refers to the belief that people get what they deserve and deserve what they get. Scapegoating refers to the tendency to blame an outgroup for one's own problems or difficulties. None of these concepts accurately describe Kelly and Carlos's belief about their own political party.
