Sumner coins the in-group/out-group framing and defines ethnocentrism in Folkways sec. 13-16 with cross-cultural illustrations; the text does not discuss anthropological method or claim universality explicitly.
“Ethnocentrism+ is the technical name for this view of things in which one's own group is the center of everything, and all others are scaled and rated with reference to it.”
- William Graham Sumner's foundational formulation
- In-Group / Out-Group
- Sumner (1906) first named this dual structure, coining "in-group" and "out-group" as paired terms and observing that members reserve loyalty, sacrifice, and cooperation for the former while extending hostility and contempt to the latter.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 2 of 2 citations: 2 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.
