Tajfel matrices

Tajfel matrices are tools used in social psychology to study group dynamics and prejudice. They involve simple tables that represent choices made by individuals in groups, often in a context where they are divided into "in-groups" and "out-groups." By analyzing how people allocate resources, praise, or rewards within these groups, researchers can understand how group identity influences behavior, often leading to favoritism towards one's own group (in-group bias) and discrimination against others (out-group bias). This helps reveal the psychological mechanisms behind social divisions and stereotypes.
