Two studies tested the prediction that group identification (importance of the group in the self - concept) moderates the impact of perceived discrimination on self - evaluative emotions (depression and self - esteem). In Study 1, women low in gender identification experienced less depressed emotion and higher self - esteem if a negative evaluation was due to sexism than when it was not. The self -evaluative emotions of women high in gender identification were not buffered by attributions to sexism. In Study 2, ethnic identification and depressed emotions were positively related when Latino - Americans read about pervasive prejudice against the ingroup but were negatively related when they read about prejudice against an outgroup. Both studies demonstrated that for highly group identified individuals, prejudice against the ingroup is a threat against the self. Thus, the self - protective strategy of attributing negative feedback to discrimination may be primarily effective for individuals who do not consider the group a central aspect of self.
