群体地位和地位合法性被测试为对威胁性群体间比较的贬值反应的调节因素。在三个实验中，参与者收到了将他们的内群体（基于学校或性别）与地位较高或较低的外群体进行比较的反馈。当假设（研究1和2）或操纵（研究3）群体地位差异的合法性时，当参与者的内群体与地位较低的外群体进行不利比较时，他们会贬低该领域，但当他们的内群体与地位较高的外群体进行不利比较时，他们不会贬低该领域。在研究3中，当地位差异被去合法化时，这种地位价值不对称被消除了。中介分析表明，地位价值不对称可以用获得地位相关奖励的领域感知效用来解释。
Group status and status legitimacy were tested as moderators of devaluing in response to threatening intergroup comparisons. In 3 experiments, participants received feedback comparing their in-group (based on school or gender) to a higher or lower status out-group. When the legitimacy of group status differences was assumed (Studies I and 2) or manipulated (Study 3), participants devalued the domain when their in-group compared unfavorably with a lower status out-group but did not devalue the domain when their in-group compared unfavorably with a higher status out-group. In Study 3, this status value asymmetry was eliminated when status differences were delegitimized. Mediational analyses suggested that the status value asymmetry was explained by the perceived utility of the domain for gaining status-relevant rewards.
