Outgroup stereotypes arise independently of ingroup love depth

Evidence

Extremities of love prejudice, however, do not necessarily predict extremities of outgroup prejudice (Brewer & Brown, 1998; Mummendey & Otten, 1998). Also, in collectivist East Asian settings, ingroups are seen more modestly than in Western samples (Cuddy et al., 2004); they are characterized moderately on both warmth and competence, instead of high on both, compared to other groups. Nevertheless, East Asian cultures otherwise demonstrate the same competence/warmth map of outgroups. Thus, outgroup stereotypes do not necessarily require extremes of love prejudice. — John F. Dovidio, Peter Glick, Laurie A. Rudman, On the Nature of Prejudice, 327

Approaches to the content of stereotypes revolve around the tension between us with our interests and them with their interests. Viewed through the lens of group goals, the content of stereotypes reflects people’s core motive of belonging to their ingroup, the attachments that “are essential to life … family and friendship circles … [help] define the ‘out-groups’ which are a menace” (Allport, 1954/1979, p. 25). From love prejudice and belonging follow outgroup resentments. — John F. Dovidio, Peter Glick, Laurie A. Rudman, On the Nature of Prejudice, 326

• QUESTION: If outgroup stereotyping doesn’t require strong ingroup love, what does drive it in low-favoritism cultures? Worth chasing the mechanism.
