Abstract: | Compared the effects of intergroup and within-group comparison on attitudes differentiating two well-defined student groups. Social work students (n = 48) expressed attitudes either before or after estimating ingroup or outgroup (commerce students) norms. Subjects adopted more extreme attitudes following outgroup comparison, but were unaffected by comparison within the group. |
