decategorization  

Definition(s)

  • Decategorization refers to a process of reducing the salience of ingroup–outgroup distinctions. An important consequence is that negative behaviors associated with ingroup–outgroup distinctions, such as prejudice, stereotyping, and intergroup discrimination, are also diminished.
