ABSTRACT
The study of diversity in social groups has gained importance as a topic in social psychology as it has in other related domains (e.g. Bodenhausen, 2010; van Knippenberg, De Dreu, & Homan, 2004). The interest is timely, given the shifting ethnic diversity of U.S. society and the impact that can have on the effectiveness of organizations and work groups. Social psychological research has much to contribute to the topic, as the questions of interest relate in large part to the development and application of intergroup attitudes.
