Group Categorization and Attribution of Belief Similarity.
Allen, Vernon L.; Wilder, David A.
Small Group Behavior, v10 n1 p73-80 Feb 1979

The effect is even more marked for highly prejudiced persons. In the present paper two experiments are reported which extend the belief similarity hypothesis. (Author)
