12. Formation, change, and contextualization of mental associations: determinants and principles of variations in implicit measures (2010, background): “According to Walther and colleagues' (2005) theorizing, these effects may be due to an associative transfer of self-evaluations to the new ingroup (see also Cadinu & Rothbart, 1996; Gramzow & Gaertner, 2005; Otten & Wentura, 2001).”
FLATTERY WILL GET YOU EVERYWHERE (ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE A MALE CAUCASIAN): HOW INGRATIATION, BOARDROOM BEHAVIOR, AND DEMOGRAPHIC MINORITY STATUS AFFECT ADDITIONAL BOARD APPOINTMENTS AT U.S. COMPANIES (2007, background): “…in in-group favoritism, or a tendency for ingroup members (e.g., others of the same race or gender) to receive favorable treatment in the allocation of positive outcomes, including job opportunities (Gardham & Brown, 2001; Hewstone et al., 1991; Otten & Mummendey, 1999; Otten & Wentura, 2001).”
Egocentric Categorization and Product Judgment: Seeing Your Traits in What You Own (and Their Opposite in What You Don’t) (2013, background): “Research finds that consumers often use the “self ” as a reference category for segmenting, organizing, and understanding their surroundings (Rogers, Kuiper, and Kirker 1977), especially when they judge other people (Otten and Wentura 2001).”
Social Projection to Ingroups and Outgroups: A Review and Meta-Analysis (2005, unknown): “Inasmuch as self - images are more positive when ex - pressed as judgments of personality traits instead of judgments of attitudes , the model also predicts that ingroup - favoritism is greater in judgments of traits ( Otten & Wentura , 2001 ) than in judgments of attitudes ( Krueger et al .”
From social projection to social behaviour (2007, background): “Bias is reduced when self-judgements (and thus projection) are statistically controlled (Krueger et al, 2005 ; Otten & Wentura, 2001 ).”
When 'different' means 'worse': in-group prototypicality in changing intergroup contexts (2005, background): “Such an overlap might reflect cognitive anchoring effects, as suggested by research on selfanchoring (e.g., Cadinu & Rothbart, 1996; Otten & Wentura, 2001), or motivational attempts to improve positive in-group distinctiveness, as described by social identity theory (Tajfel and Turner, 1986).”
It's all in the timing: Interpersonal synchrony increases affiliation (2009, background): “This “self-other equivalence” may promote meaningful social bonds and interpersonal closeness by helping people understand others’ actions (e.g., Iacoboni, 2005; Meltzoff, 2005) or by increasing people’s tendency to project positive views of the self to others (Otten & Wentura, 2001; Smith, 2008).”
