Abstract
A two-factor explanation is explored for the personal/group discrimination discrepancy; the finding that members of disadvantaged groups rate group-level discrimination to be higher than discrimination directed at them personally. Four experiments involving female, Asian, and Black students, as well as Black teenagers, are reviewed. On the one hand, disadvantaged group members minimize the discrimination that is directed at them personally. On the other hand, ratings of group-based discrimination appear to arise from a shared auto-stereotype.
