The effect of perceived similarity and dissimilarity between in- and out-group members on children's intergroup attitudes and perceptions in a context of conflict
2023, International Journal of Intercultural RelationsThe effect of narratives on attitudes toward animal welfare and pro-social behaviour on behalf of animals: Three pre-registered experiments
2022, PoeticsCitation Excerpt :This may increase our sense of similarity with animals and in turn affect attitudes towards animal welfare. Social psychological research has identified perceived similarity as important for affecting positive outgroup attitudes generally (Brown & Abrams, 1986; Hornsey & Hogg, 2000), and attitudes towards animals specifically (Hills, 1995). This point is important; while fictions and non-fictions can provide information about the minds of characters, only fiction is able to represent the perspectives of non-human animals.

2021, International Journal of Project ManagementCitation Excerpt :That is, this line of research indicates that task complexities characteristic of the IPD method will increase the probability that some members’ commitment levels are attenuated, which would promote commitment disparities between members. Commitment disparities are likely to produce a general lack of cooperation and consensus regarding members’ aims and objectives, otherwise known as member goal misalignment (Brown & Abrams, 1986). Commitment disparities would also accentuate dissimilarities between team members, which would attenuate members’ cohesion around the group task, or the extent to which members’ task goals are aligned (e.g., Manata, 2016, 2020; see also de Wit et al., 2012; Jehn & Mannix, 2001).
Elections and selection: The role of political ideology in selection decisions
2019, Human Resource Management ReviewCitation Excerpt :The greater the similarity that exists, the greater the attraction between people (Byrne, 1971). At an interpersonal level, attraction is enhanced by attitude similarity (Brown & Abrams, 1986). Similarity with others' beliefs and attitudes validates and reinforces one's own ideas, affect, and behaviors (Harrison et al., 2002), reducing the number of conflicts and disagreements between individuals creating a more positive experience (Byrne, 1971).
