Fig. 6: Average identification at each item/time point for each, across condition and congruence levels.
From: Strategic attitude expressions as identity performance and identity creation in interaction
‘Cong’ refers to when individuals have congruence with their dyadic partner on a given attitude. ‘Incong’ refers to when individuals have incongruence with their dyadic partner on a given attitude. Error bars represent 95% confidence intervals (n = 836). Green represents the experimental ingroup, yellow represents the experimental outgroup, grey represents the control group. Average identification begins at the highest point in the ingroup and despite differences in congruence over time, congruent outgroup members never reach an average identification as high as any congruent ingroup members. Incongruent ingroup members never reach an average identification level as low as incongruent outgroup members. This displays the impact of the initial opinion-based group identification.
