In decisions where groups play a role, people are often biased in favor of the in-group. Although prior research elucidates differences in information processing of in- and out-group members, little is known about the cognitive processes underlying decision making in intergroup settings. In two studies, we investigate how people weight own and others’ outcomes in money allocation tasks, and whether they are biased to invest more effort into information search when facing in-group members. This is the second of two studies. The preceding [Study 1][1] was preregistered as a separate project.
