Using a social identity perspective, two experiments examined the effects of power and the legitimacy of power differentials on intergroup bias. In experiment 1, 125 math - science students were led ot believe that they had high or low representation in a university decision - making body relative to social - science students and that this power position was either legitimate or illegitimate. Power did not have an independent effect on bias, rather members of both high amd low power groups showed more bias when the power hierarchy was illegitimate tan when it was legitimate. This effect was replicated in experiment 2 (N = 105). In addition, experiment 2 showed that groups located within an unfair power hierarcy expected the superordinate power body to be more discriminatory than did those who had legitimately high or low power. The results are disucssed in terms of their implications for group relations.
