Two experiments tested the prediction that uncertainty reduction and self - enhancement motivations have an interactive effect on ingroup identification. In Experiment 1 (N = 64), uncertainty and group status were manipulated, and the effect on ingroup identification was measured. As predicted, low - uncertainty participants identified more strongly with a high - than low - status group, whereas high - uncertainty participants showed no preference; and low - status group members identified more strongly under high than low uncertainty, whereas high - status group members showed no preference. Experiment 2 (N = 210) replicated Experiment 1, but with a third independent variable that manipulated how prototypical participants were of their group. As predicted, the effects obtained in Experiment 1 only emerged where participants were highly prototypical. Low prototypicality depressed identification with a low - status group under high uncertainty. The implications of these results for intergroup relations and the role of prototypicality in social identity processes are discussed.
