Why do citizens want to keep refugees out? Threats, fairness and hostile norms in the treatment of asylum seekers (2007, background): “Ingroup norms become salient to group members along with the social identity based on their category membership, are internalised as ‘normative attitudes’ (i.e. attitudes congruent with the norm) and serve as a basis for action (Terry & Hogg, 1996; Turner, Hogg, Oakes, Reicher, & Wetherell, 1987).”
Social norms, social identities and the COVID‐19 pandemic: Theory and recommendations (2021, background): “Overall, then, a large body of research has confirmed the power of social norms to determine the form and direction of group members' attitudes and actions, particularly those individuals strongly attached to the group, across many behavioural domains (see J. R. Smith & Louis, 2009, for a review).”
Attitudes in social context: A social identity perspective (2007, background): “The effect for individuals for whom the group is not an important basis for self-definition is consistent with past research (e.g., Barreto & Ellemers, 2000), but goes further in demonstrating the power of ingroup norms to influence the behaviour of these individuals (cf. Terry & Hogg, 1996).”
