Identity different 'selves' than an individual may take on in social interaction
-Taifel 1959 experiment
-Goal: to understand the effect of group membership on perceptions and behaviors
-Procedures: Participants judged the similarity of physical objects. In C1, objects were
Accentuation effect divided into sets and explicitly presented as separate groups. In C2, objects were just
divided into sets.
-Key Finding: In C1, people perceive greater similarity within sets and less similarity
between sets.
Procedures: put into three-person groups based on artist preference, participants
distributed money to self and others according to one of three payment schemes: MJP
(maximum joint profit), MIP (maximum profit for the ingroup), MD (maximum difference
between in and out groups)
"Minimal group" experiment (basic findings)

could make groups out of almost nothing)

Altruism vs egoism
Egoistic helping: motivated by the desire to increase one's own welfare.
