TY - JOUR PY - 2003// TI - The development of subjective group dynamics: children's judgments of normative and deviant in-group and out-group individuals JO - Child development A1 - Abrams, Dominic A1 - Rutland, Adam A1 - Cameron, Lindsey SP - 1840 EP - 1856 VL - 74 IS - 6 N2 - A developmental model of subjective group dynamics suggests that social identity is sustained first by intergroup biases and later by intragroup biases. In this study 476 English children 5 to 11 years old evaluated the English and German soccer teams, and judged in-group or out-group members whose attitudes toward the teams was normative versus antinormative. Children of all ages expressed intergroup bias. Differential evaluation against in-group deviants and in favor of out-group deviants strengthened with age. Understanding of targets' relative acceptability (differential inclusion) among in-group and out-group members mediated the effects of age and intergroup bias on intragroup bias. Identification with the in-group moderated the effects only among older children.
