Sažetak
The aim of this paper is to test some of the assumptions of
the Developmental Subjective Group Dynamics Model
(Abrams, Rutland, & Cameron, 2003) on ad hoc groups of
youth. The variables included were: a) differential evaluation;
b) differential inclusion; c) intragroup bias; and d) group
identification. It was assumed that the participants' age
would moderate the relationship of intragroup bias and
differential evaluation, while differential inclusion would be a
mediator of this relationship. Furthermore, the moderation
effect of group identification on the relationship of
differential evaluation and differential inclusion was
expected. The participants were students 12 to 16 years of
age (N = 349). As assumed, the existence of differential
evaluation, differential inclusion and intragroup bias was
found. However, age had no moderating effect on the
relationship between intragroup bias and differential
evaluation. Intragroup bias had a direct effect on differential
evaluation; however, this relationship was also mediated by
differential inclusion. Furthermore, group identification
moderated the relationship of differential inclusion and
differential evaluation.
