====Behavioral Asymmetry==== *SDT, unlike Marxism and other theories, describes the way subordinates participate in their own subordination. However, it does not deny dominant groups oppress subordinate groups. *Four types of '''behavioral asymmetry''': **'''Asymmetrical ingroup bias''': Even if (across cultures) individuals tend to show ingroup bias (ex. White Americans wanting to protect the interests of White Americans over other groups or Indian Americans wanting to protect the interests of Indian Americans over other groups), ''some groups will have more ingroup biases than others''. ***Dominant groups will show greater ingroup bias than subordinate groups. **'''Outgroup favoritism or deference''': Special case of asymmetric ingroup bias where subordinates favor dominants over their ingroup members (ex. colorism preferring whites over Indians in Indian communities; Uncle Tom-ing behavior of some Black Americans to white Americans). *'''Self-debilitation''': Subordinates show more self-destructive behaviors than dominants. Authors argue this is often consistent with negative stereotypes of subordinates which serve as behavioral scripts and self-fulling prophecies. *'''Ideological asymmetry''': social policies chosen by dominants are more likely to be '''driven by social dominance values'''. Dominants more likely to support HE social ideologies. Subordinates more likely to support HA social ideologies. *Behavioral asymmetry, the authors argue, show us the cooperative way intergroup oppression continues.
