- Abstract
- The present study examines the hypothesis that psychological presence of members from the in-group primes loyalty which leads to more positive expressed judgments of the in-group.

The study included a control group. Results showed that the manipulation did not result in more positive/less positive judgments of young women. However the group with the in-group manipulation did identify more words connected to loyalty than the control group did in the task which measured norm activation (Word-fragment completion task). This could be interpreted as if this group was influenced by loyalty towards the in-group. The results are discussed in relation to in-group favoritism, norm activation and social identity. (Less)
