This work examines the moderating effects of status stability, legitimacy, and group permeability on in-group bias among high- and low-status groups. These effects were examined separately for evaluative measures that were relevant as well as irrelevant to the salient status distinctions. The results support social identity theory and show that high-status groups are more biased. The meta-analysis reveals that perceived status stability, legitimacy, and permeability moderate the effects of group status. Also, these variables interacted in their influences on the effect of group status on in-group bias, but this was only true for irrelevant evaluative dimensions. When status was unstable and perceived as illegitimate, low-status groups and high-status groups were equally biased when group boundaries were impermeable, compared with when they were permeable. Implications for social identity theory as well as for intergroup attitudes are discussed.
本研究考察了地位稳定性、合法性和群体渗透性对高地位群体和低地位群体内群体偏见的调节作用。分别针对与显著地位差异相关和不相关的评价指标对这些效应进行了考察。结果支持社会认同理论，表明高地位群体的偏见更大。元分析表明，感知到的地位稳定性、合法性和渗透性调节了群体地位的影响。此外，这些变量在对群体地位对内群体偏见影响的作用中相互作用，但这仅适用于不相关的评价维度。当地位不稳定且被视为不合法时，与群体边界具有渗透性时相比，在群体边界不可渗透的情况下，低地位群体和高地位群体的偏见程度相同。文中讨论了研究结果对社会认同理论以及群体间态度的启示。
