Striving for Success in Outgroup Settings: Effects of Contextually Emphasizing Ingroup Dimensions on Stigmatized Group Members’ Social Identity and Performance Styles
Open accessAbstract
For members of stigmatized groups, being confronted with highstatus outgroup members threatens social identity and undermines performance on status-relevant dimensions. Two experiments examined whether the negative effects of outgroup contexts are alleviated when value is expressed for a dimension on which the stigmatized ingroup excels. Specifically, the authors assessed whether ingroup versus outgroup context and contextual value for ingroup dimensions affects group members' reactions to failure on status-relevant dimensions and subsequent performance. Experiment 1 showed that in comparison to ingroup contexts, outgroup contexts induce stigmatized group members to protect social identity and to feel more agitated following negative performance feedback. Experiment 2 showed that when others in the context emphasize the importance of a dimension on which the ingroup excels, the negative effects of outgroup contexts are alleviated, stigmatized group members feel more cheerful concerning an upcoming task, and task performance is characterized by a focus on success.

Individuals from historically subordinated social groups typically resolve identity conflict by adapting to the extant culture.
“They resolve an identity conflict by adapting to the extant culture, a fairly typical response for individuals from historically subordinated social groups (e.g., Chattopadhyay et al., 2004;Derks et al., 2006).”
From How to study democratic backsliding (2024) · cites this paper as Derks et al., 2006
The section ‘How Does Group Context Affect Social Identity?’ describes coping with social identity threat by devaluing dimensions favored by a high-status outgroup or valuing ingroup strengths. The General Discussion mentions individual mobility, but neither passage says that adapting to the prevailing culture is a typical way for historically subordinated groups to resolve identity conflict. Searches for adaptation, assimilation, and individual mobility did not establish that claim. (LLM, conf=0.73)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
