Perspective-taking shifts perceived similarity only among low group identifiers

Evidence

Lower identifiers perceived themselves to be more similar to disadvantaged group members after disadvantaged group perspective-taking, whereas higher identifiers distanced themselves from the disadvantaged group and perceived themselves as more dissimilar after disadvantaged group perspective-taking. Furthermore, higher identifiers perceived themselves as equally similar to perpetrator group members after perpetrator group perspective-taking compared to no perspective-taking instructions, whereas lower identifiers perceived themselves as more dissimilar to perpetrator group members after perpetrator group perspective-taking. — Nyla R.
