Perceived In-Group Homogeneity as a Function of Group Membership Salience and Stereotype Threat.

Lee, Yueh-Ting; Ottati, Victor

Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, v21 n6 p610-19 Jun 1995

Considers two determinants--one cognitive and the other motivational--of perceptual fluctuations of in-group variation.
