Fei Tan – ProQuest LLC, 2024

Tiffany Berry; Brittany Hite; Michelle Sloper; Haley Umans – American Journal of Evaluation, 2024

Lisa M. Goncalves – ProQuest LLC, 2024

Gonzalez, Gorana; Blake, Peter R.; Dunham, Yarrow; McAuliffe, Katherine – Developmental Psychology, 2020
Ingroup favoritism influences third-party norm enforcement: Third-party punishers are more lenient when an ingroup member has been unfair. By contrast, in 2-party contexts, where punishers are the victims of unfairness, group bias effects are absent or inconsistent. Thus, group bias appears to be particularly influential when enforcing fairness…
