In-Group Bias as a Cause of Prejudice and Discrimination
In-group bias can directly contribute to prejudice and discrimination. The preference for one's own group can lead to the perception of out-groups as different and less preferred, fostering negative attitudes (prejudice) and actions (discrimination) against their members.

In-Group Bias as a Cause of Prejudice and Discrimination

Proposal A is from the manager's own team, while Proposal B is from a different team in the same company. The manager ultimately chooses Proposal A, stating, "I just have a gut feeling that my team's approach is more innovative and reliable." Based on this scenario, which statement best dissects the psychological principle at play?
