    Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract

    Brewer's own abstract states that ingroup identification is independent of negative outgroup attitudes, i.e. in-group love and out-group hate are dissociable rather than reciprocally related.

    “Findings from both cross‐cultural research and laboratory experiments support the alternative view that ingroup identification is independent of negative attitudes toward outgroups and that much ingroup bias and intergroup discrimination is motivated by preferential treatment of ingroup members rather than direct hostility toward outgroup members.”

    Read by an automated reader; not a human review. How support was checked

• In-Group / Out-Group
  • The structure is dual and self-referential: the out-group is whatever the in-group is not, so each side is defined by negation of the other, and the salience of one heightens the salience of the other.

    This sourceArgues that in-group favoritism (positive treatment of "us") and out-group hostility (negative treatment of "them") are distinct, dissociable phenomena, and that much bias is the former rather than the latter.

Verification

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 2 citations: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
