Included but Invisible? Subtle Bias, Common Identity, and the Darker Side of “We” (2016, background): “In addition, the standards and norms promoted within a colorblind ideology, which is often achieved by emphasizing common identity, typically represent those of the majority, and thus favor qualities that are more representative of majority-group than of minority-group members (Wenzel et al., 2007).”
No Longer “All-American”? Whites’ Defensive Reactions to Their Numerical Decline (2015, background): “Prior research shows that individuals are motivated to project their subgroup’s attributes onto the superordinate category (Wenzel et al., 2007).”
Social identity patterns in culturally diverse organizations: The role of diversity climate (2012, neutral): “Additionally, because they are seen as less prototypical, minority employees are evaluated less positively by the majority group (see Wenzel et al., 2007), and unequal treatment may be perceived as justiﬁed (Mummendey & Otten, 2004).”
The Ties That Bind (2015, background): ““Deviations” of low-status ethnic groups from the “prototypical” characteristics of the dominant ethnic group are likely to trigger devaluation and discrimination (Peker, Crisp, & Hogg, 2010; Waldzus & Mummendey, 2004; Waldzus, Mummendey, & Wenzel, 2005; Wenzel et al., 2007).”
Stigma-Based Solidarity (2016, background): “Specifically, such efforts could lead individuals to contrast their discrimination with that experienced by stigmatized out-groups and, in turn, to perceive their group as the “real” or more severely victimized group (see Noor, Brown, & Prentice, 2008; Wenzel, Mummendey, & Waldzus, 2007).”
Is Man the Measure of All Things? A Social Cognitive Account of Androcentrism (2018, background): “The ingroup projection model argues that people are motivated to view their ingroup as representative of inclusive superordinate groups (Bianchi, Mummendey, Steffens, & Yzerbyt, 2010; Mummendey & Wenzel, 1999; Wenzel et al., 2007, 2003).”
