This research was designed to examine the relationship between individuals' perceived value incongruence with out-group members and their attitude towards the target group, as well as the boundary conditions of this process. By using the "inter-subjective consensus approach", in study one we found that among Mainland Chinese college students, their value incongruence with Hong Kong Chinese was negatively related to their attitude towards Hong Kong Chinese. In study two, we found that among participants with high identification with both the Mainland Chinese subgroup and the Chinese super-ordinate group, the negative relation between individual value incongruence and their intergroup attitude was non-significant. In addition, among participants with high multiculturalism endorsement, the relation between value incongruence and intergroup attitude was significantly weaker than those with low level of multiculturalism. Implications of this research and future directions were discussed based on these findings. / Guan, Yanjun. / Adviser: Helene Fung. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 72-11, Section: B, page: . / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2009. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 57-64). / Electronic reproduction.
