“…In contrast, a much stronger reaction is likely among those for whom the group is a central aspect of their self-concept, and with which they identify strongly. These high identifiers are, among other things, motivated to discard, reject, or counter-argue information that potentially threatens their group and identity (Fransen, Smit, & Verlegh, 2015;de Hoog, 2013;Pagliaro, Alparone, Pacilli, & Mucchi-Faina, 2012;Tykocinski, Higgins, & Chaiken, 1994;Zuwerink & Devine, 1996).…”
