12∞ · Question 11.8.9
How little does it take for people to favor their own group?
Almost nothing. In classic experiments, strangers assigned to groups by the toss of a coin began at once to favor their own group and to shortchange the other.
From the book 12∞ Twelve to Infinity by D.R. Davenport. The full answer is free to read with an iBelieve account.
