N2 - The experiment tested the relationship between cognitive complexity and intergroup perception and evaluation. Perceived variability within the ingroup and the outgroup, as well as polarity of evaluation of ingroup and outgroup members, were assessed in high school pupils with low- or high-cognitive complexity. In comparison with low-complexity subjects, high-complexity subjects perceived more variability within both the ingroup and the outgroup, in both positive and negative traits. In comparison with low-complexity subjects, high-complexity subjects exhibited a less positive evaluation of the ingroup and a less extreme negative evaluation of the outgroup.
