在两个实验中(n=87和n=90)，我们发现，对低地位群体有强烈认同感的成员更有可能主动通知内部群体而不是外部群体关于外部群体的越轨行为，并且认为这样做更忠于内部群体。此外，身份较高的成员更有可能主动通知外群而不是内群有关外群越轨的情况，并认为这对内群更忠诚。研究结果支持这样一种观点，即根据群体的现有地位，负面的外群体信息可以被用来提高或确认内部群体的地位，从而影响到内部群体或外部群体最初是否会被告知外部群体的违规行为。
In two experiments ( n = 87 and n = 90), we showed that strongly identifying members of a low status group are more likely to actively inform the ingroup rather than the outgroup about an outgroup transgression, and consider it as more loyal to the ingroup to do so. Moreover, strongly identifying members of a high status group are more likely to actively inform the outgroup rather than the ingroup about an outgroup transgression, and consider this to be more loyal to the ingroup. The results are in support of the notion that, depending on a group’s existing status position, negative outgroup information can be used to enhance or confirm the ingroup’s standing, affecting whether the ingroup or the outgroup will initially be informed about an outgroup transgression.
