Overview

Experimental evidence reveals cooperation patterns between vulnerable groups in mentoring settings, indicating implications for social policy.

Key Points

  • Individuals raised under legal guardianship show varying cooperation patterns based on their centre identities.
  • Participants demonstrated centre-outgroup favouritism, indicating complex intergroup dynamics in cooperation.
  • Longer involvement in the centre increases ingroup favouritism among those with a history of negative stereotypes.
  • These findings challenge existing theories on ingroup favouritism and highlight the impact of social stigma.
