Which term denotes the group seen unfavorably and outside one's own group?

• A. In-Group
• B. Stereotype
• C. Out-Group
• D. Fundamental Attribution Error

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is how we categorize people into groups. In social psychology, the in-group is the group you identify with, while the out-group is the group you don’t belong to. The term for the group seen unfavorably and outside one’s own group is the out-group. This concept helps explain why people may hold biases against those groups and view them as more similar to each other than they really are. For contrast, an in-group is the group you belong to, a stereotype is a generalized belief about a group (not a group label), and the fundamental attribution error is about attributing others’ behavior to their character rather than to situational factors.
