“…Taken together, our results show that while faultline distance may aggravate group functioning, the strength of members' identification with a team may alter this relationship and instead, enhance the group's performance, or at least lessen the negative effects. These findings are consistent with the common ingroup identity model (CIIM; e.g., Gaertner et al 1993), which posits that bias reduction may occur when group members recategorize their perceptions of group boundaries to perceive themselves as sharing common ingroup identity. Interestingly, the significant effects were only observed for groups with information-based faultlines.…”

“…In our measurement approach, we first drew on the common ingroup identity model (Gaertner et al 1993) and operationalized team identification as participants' superordinate group representations (or the sense of "we-ness") (Dovidio et al 1997a, b). We then built on qualitative work in the area of organizational identity and identification (e.g., Brickson 2005, Earley and Mosakowski 2000, Pratt 2000 to arrive at our measure of team identification.…”

“…The extent to which they identify themselves with their workgroup as a whole can facilitate harmonious relations because the cognitive and motivational processes that produce positive feelings toward ingroups (Tajfel and Turner 1986) can now be extended toward outgroups (Mottolla et al 1997). When members perceive themselves as sharing a common ingroup identity, the chances of subgroup categorization, identification, and associated biases are minimized (Gaertner et al 1993, Gaertner andDovidio 2000). That is, when members of one subgroup formed by a social category or information-based faultline perceive themselves to share a group membership with members of another subgroup (i.e., the overall workgroup), they are motivated to strive actively to reach agreement and coordinate their behaviors in identifying shared beliefs, clarifying points of agreement, and exchanging information (Haslam and Ellemers 2005, Hogg and Terry 2000, Pratt 1998).…”

I n this study we examine a moderated model of group faultlines, team identification, and group performance outcomes. We extend research on faultlines by showing how different faultline bases (social category and information-based faultlines) may have differential effects on the performance of groups. In addition to faultline strength (the extent of demographic alignment across members within a group), we examine the distance between faultline-based subgroups (e.g., two members of age 20 are closer in age to two members of an opposing subgroup of age 25 than of two members of age 50). We test our model using an archival field methodology and multiple-source data (qualitative and quantitative) from 76 workgroups in a Fortune 500 information-processing company. Our results revealed that groups with social category faultlines had low team discretionary awards. Faultline distance further exacerbated the negative effects of strength in groups with social category faultlines and produced similarly negative effects in groups with information-based faultlines. Team identification served as a moderator enhancing performance of groups with information-based faultlines.

Resumo: A relação entre o habitat e os processos de (des)integração social de minorias étnicas provenientes dos PALOP e da população cigana a residirem nas áreas metropoli tanas de Lisboa e do Porto constitui o cerne do presente artigo.Faz-se uma breve apresentação dos eixos problemáticos que orientaram a pesquisa empírica a partir da qual se discute a relação acima referida. O artigo dá, ainda, conta de traços e tendências -socio-demográficas, de trajectórias de emigração, de atitudes face à escola, de desemprenhos económico-profissionais e de estratégias face às redes de suporte socialque ajudam a conferir identidade às minorias em presença.A fechar destacam-se algumas das marcas reveladas pela referida pesquisa e procura-se dar um contributo que ajude a equacionar o desafio com que se confronta a sociedade por tuguesa, face à crescente diversidade cultural que se consolida no seu seio.Palavras-chave: minorias étnicas; habitat; identidades; integração social e sistémica. Conhecer a relação entre o habitat1 e os processos de ( des )integração social de minorias étnicas, provenientes dos países de língua oficial *** Antropóloga.

“…According to the common ingroup identity model (Gaertner, Dovidio, Anastasio, Bachman, & Rust, 1993), fostering a common identity that transcends group boundaries helps reduce negative stereotypes and foster positive intergroup relations. Although tentative evidence for this effect is available, this solution is often difficult to implement in practice and most of the evidence for such effects has been gathered in laboratory contexts only (Paluck & Green, 2009).…”

Social stereotypes are an individual's set of beliefs about the characteristics of members of a group. They fulfill a variety of functions, such as interpreting others' behaviors, explaining social events and legitimizing the organization of society. They influence social judgment via both automatic and controlled cognitive processes. The formation of shared stereotypes reflects a group's attempt to appraise the social position of relevant out-groups in line with its pre-existing norms and beliefs. Two main dimensions, competence and warmth, organize the content of stereotypes. The position of an out-group on these two dimensions is a function of its perceived status and level of cooperation towards the ingroup. When they are shared within majority groups, stereotypes can exert a variety of undesirable influences on the members of minority group, including impairing their performance in domains targeted by these social stereotypes.
