Harper is 35 years old and has just enrolled in his first university course. On the first day of class, he looks over the individuals in the room and sits next to another male student who appears to be in his early 30s.
In this case, Harper has likely classified the other student:
a. using a self-serving bias.
b. as someone who has more university experience than Harper.
c. as a member of his ingroup.
d. as the teaching assistant for the class.
Ingroups are typically small groups of people with shared interests or identities. In this case, Harper sees that he and the other male student share an identity (Both are male and in their 30s).
