1. In-group favoritism: This effect occurs when individuals show favoritism towards members of their in-group over out-group members. For example, a study found that participants were more likely to give money to a stranger if they were told they were from the same university as opposed to a different university.
2. Stereotyping: The discontinuity effect can also be seen in the formation of stereotypes. Research has shown that people are more likely to stereotype and discriminate against out-group members, viewing them as less favorable or trustworthy compared to in-group members.
3. Group polarization: Group polarization is the tendency for groups to make more extreme decisions or opinions when they are in a group setting compared to when they are alone. This can lead to the reinforcement of existing attitudes and beliefs, leading to further division between in-group and out-group members.
4. Social identity theory: This theory suggests that individuals derive their self-concept and self-esteem from their group membership. In-group members may exhibit the discontinuity effect by internalizing stereotypes and biases against out-group members in order to enhance their own group identity.
5. Inter-group conflict: The discontinuity effect can also contribute to inter-group conflict, as individuals may become more hostile and aggressive towards out-group members due to perceived differences and competition for resources. This can lead to escalation of conflicts and perpetuation of negative stereotypes.
