European review of social psychology, 1993•Taylor & FrancisThis chapter introduces the common ingroup identity model as a means of reducing
intergroup bias. This model proposes that bias can be reduced by factors that transform
members' perceptions of group boundaries from “us” and “them” to a more inclusive “we”.
From this perspective, several features specified by the contact hypothesis (eg co-operative
interaction) facilitate more harmonious intergroup interactions, at least in part, because they
contribute to the development of a common ingroup identity. In this chapter, we describe …

This chapter introduces the common ingroup identity model as a means of reducing intergroup bias. This model proposes that bias can be reduced by factors that transform members' perceptions of group boundaries from “us” and “them” to a more inclusive “we”. From this perspective, several features specified by the contact hypothesis (e.g. co-operative interaction) facilitate more harmonious intergroup interactions, at least in part, because they contribute to the development of a common ingroup identity. In this chapter, we describe laboratory and field studies that are supportive of the model; we also relate the model to earlier work on aversive racism.
