In two experiments, the role of the accessibility of the individual self as a moderator variable in processing information about attractive or unattractive in - groups was examined. An indicator of category - based in - group representation served as the main dependent variable. In Experiment 1, the authors predicted and found an interaction between accessibility of the individual self and in - group attractiveness. People exhibited more category - based representations for unattractive than for attractive in - groups when accessibility was low, but the opposite trend was observed when accessibility was high. Experiment 2 showed that the difference in category - based representations of unattractive versus attractive in - groups, given low accessibility of the individual self : depends also on relative in - group size. Here, only majority members, but not minority members, showed the critical effect. The results are discussed in terms of group members' self - evaluation concerns.
