Outgroup (sociology) should be merged into the accompanying article, which should perhaps be retitled to Ingroup and outgroups. Even if it isn't true that "there's no outgroup without an ingroup" (or even the reverse), the two are so closely related that they should be discussed together if convenient. In fact, they can fit together on a single screen. If they need to be split later, it'll probably be easier to build them up to that point as a single article, and the roughly 30 edits on Ingroup, and 20 on Outgroup, over their 5-year+ existences, suggest slow growth.

Seconded: I'd redirect Outgroup to Ingroup, leaving the name unchanged. Both are virtual stubs now, and in all extant theories both are discussed where one is.

no reply for over a year, so acted on this

Outgroup is presently an article on classifying species, IMO an odd choice since the soc'y term is IIRC older than the whole cladistics approach, and IMO far better recognized than the bio term. Those interested in the accompanying article may want to offer evidence at talk:Outgroup#Primary topic? talk:Outgroup (cladistics)#Primary topic?.

• Move done; Outgroup is now Dab.

The paragraph on group homogeneity vaguely described different effects of group homogeneity, without giving reference to the names of these phenomenas. In an effort to improve the clarity of this paragraph, I altered the paragraph, by replacing some of the content, to clearly include the name and a short description of the two effects of group homogeneity — Preceding unsigned comment added by Islahay (talk • contribs) 15:57, 15 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There has been extensive research on the topic of outgroup derogation, yet the topic has not been covered anywhere on Wikipedia. As this phenomena accompanies ingroup favoritism, a topic that is extensively covered on Wikipedia, I have added outgroup derogation to the Wikipedia page in order to improve the thoroughness of the ingroups and outgroups page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Islahay (talk • contribs) 15:14, 22 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

An editor has identified a potential problem with the redirect Neural mechanisms of in-group favoritism and has thus listed it for discussion. This discussion will occur at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 July 25#Neural mechanisms of in-group favoritism until a consensus is reached, and readers of this page are welcome to contribute to the discussion.
