In- Group Membership-

I always have felt a strong bond with my In-group members. I am a member of a sporting club. I can identify myself in my In- Group. This club is like my family. Here we all have a loving relationship with each others. We always feel like we are like a family. We never disrespect each other’s and we all can fight together if a bad situation arrives. I feel motivated in my Group. There are some specific characteristics in my in- Group. Such as

• We feeling
• Strong bonding of group members
• Unity in every task
• Similar positive attitude for every group members
• Empathy and caring attitude towards the group members

Experience I have with’’ Out- Group’’

I never have felt any bond for the ‘’Out Group’’. The opposition Sporting Club is the ‘’Out Group’’ for me. I always have used the term ‘’ they’’ to describe the out group. I have a negative and avoiding attitude towards the Out-group. I have always experienced a rivalry feeling towards the Out group. An Out group is always a rival for me. There is no loving relationship between me and the members of the out group.
