Group membership alters the threshold for mind perception: The role of social identity, collective identification, and intergroup threat

چکیده
• We tested intergroup mind perception with morphs between human and inanimate faces. • Participants had more lenient thresholds for perceiving minds in in-group faces. • Individual differences in collective identification moderated this bias. • Out-group threat was associated with lenient out-group mind perception. • Mind perception depends on contextual information in addition to bottom-up cues.
