This study investigates whether the greater in-group favoritism typically expressed by numerical minorities could be minimized by cross-cutting role assignment to the tasks in a cooperative setting. Study 1 manipulated the numerical representation of two groups and role assignment to a team task. The results showed that cross - cut role assignment decreased the in - group bias of both minority and majority groups, compared to convergent role assignment. Study 2 further examined the benefits of cross - cut assignment while controlling interaction among in - group and out - group members. The outcomes of Study 2 replicated those of Study 1 and showed that even without prior interaction during the cross - cut task, both minorities and majorities were less biased when role assignments cross -cut category membership. Moreover, the results showed that whereas both social category salience and identification were affected by role assignment, only identification mediated the effect of role assignment on in - group bias.
