Denying the effects of group affiliation on psychology won't make 'em go away.
Disapproving of this effect will probably reduce it.
Based on...?
Occasionally noticing you're about to do something stupid because you think you're affiliated with a group, now that you're aware it happens all the time, and trying to do better?
There's a proposed mechanism.
Any evidence as to whether it actually works out like that, enough of the time, to make a significant effect?
In oneself. If one notices.
Thinking of yourself as not part of the group will help though.
Will it? How do you know? What do you mean by "help"? Why do you believe this? How confident are you?
Good questions, I'm afraid that that's just my intuition with no experiments backing it up. Do you know of any relevant data? I can't think of a way to structure a good experiment; how would we measure group affiliation except by getting people to report it?
