Resumo (PT): This reprinted chapter originally appeared in (Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 2001[Sep], Vol 81[3], 436-447). The following abstract of the original article appeared in record 2001-18127-006.)The authors predicted that derogation of group deviants depends on the extent to which in-group norms or values are validated or undermined in a social context. In Experiment 1 participants were less tolerant and derogated in-group deviants more when other in-group members opposed the norm. In Experiment 2 participants derogated in-group deviants more than out-group deviants and than noncategorized individuals, but only when normative in-group members lacked uniformity. In Experiment 3 participants derogated in-group deviants more when there was uncertainty about in-group superiority.
