Card 0 of 3
A group of biologists at a university appreciate the diversity of their peers’ research in regard to subject matters ranging from oncology to environmental studies; however, they assume that a group of English majors study the same subjects in literature. Which of the following psychological terms best explains the biases that the biologists have to other majors at their university?
Out-group homogeneity is the assumption that the individuals in an out-group are all the same, while the individuals in a specific person’s in-group possess a wide degree of variation. In the example, the biologists appreciate the differences between their work and subject matter but cannot do the same for the English majors—the biologists assume that they study the same literary concepts.

Which of the following correctly identifies the sequence of group formation, according to psychologist Bruce Tuckman?
Tuckman proposed four elements of group formation in 1965. He proposed that all groups—from therapy groups to school boards—go through these processes. Moreover, the most typical chronological order is forming, storming, norming, and performing. He viewed this progression as both normal and healthy.
