People who belong to high-status premerger groups may perceive their new post-merger group as having lower status, which could lead them to resist identifying with the new group. However, they may also feel a sense of threat to their own status and privilege, which could result in bias and discrimination against the new group. This is why they are less likely to identify with the new group but more likely to show bias against it.
