Question

question 1 of 10
in a psychology class, a teacher divided the class by what kinds of shoes they were wearing and then had each group make a list of why their shoes were better than the others. the fact that each group argued that they had the best shoes is an example of:

a. in - group bias.

b. discrimination.

c. social facilitation.

d. stereotyping.

Explanation:

In - group bias is the tendency to favor one's own group. Here, each group (formed by shoe type) argues their shoes are best, showing favoritism towards their own group. Discrimination involves unfair treatment, social facilitation is about performance in presence of others, and stereotyping is over - generalized beliefs about a group—none match as well as in - group bias.

Answer:

A. in - group bias.
