Document Summary
This is how much of the research literature has approached prejudice & stereotyping. Need to consider target in this interaction. Researchers know much about how non-stigmatized persons view stigmatized persons, but little research has been conducted on experiences of stigmatized person & how stigmatized & non-stigmatized individuals regard each other in social interactions. People differ in degree to which they identify w/ their stigmatized group. High identifiers are much more likely to associate themselves with their group, even when--especially when--it has a negative image. Derive much of their self-esteem from their identification as a group member. Much more likely to seek collective strategies against group threat. Tend to make it clear that they are fully committed, loyal group members, who are in it for the long-run. Low identifiers are much more likely to dissociate themselves from the group, especially when the group has a negative image. Feel no special affinity toward, or derive no self-esteem from, their group.
