Assertion:The term ‘ingroup’ refers to one’s own group, and ‘outgroup’ refers to another group.
Reasoning: Persons in the ingroup are generally viewed favourably while outgroup members are often perceived negatively in comparison to the ingroup members.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
Both Assertion (A) and reasoning (R) are correct and but R is not the correct explanation of A.
The term "ingroup" refers to one's own group, while "outgroup" refers to other groups. Ingroup members use "we" to refer to themselves, viewing fellow members positively and as similar, while outgroup members are often perceived negatively.
