The present study aims to investigate the effects of temporally activated academic identity on retrieval and evaluation of stereotypical information about academic groups. Ninety-one university students were asked to list and evaluate stereotypical characteristics of students of their own and three other universities. Before this stereotyping task, half the students completed a questionnaire evoking their academic identity (AG condition), while the other half answered a questionnaire that did not remind them of it at all (NAG condition). As a result, there was a general tendency of ingroup derogation, but this tendency was moderated in the AG relative to the NAG condition. Moreover, students in the AG condition were more likely than those in the NAG condition to derogate the university that was inferior to their own. Such effects were not found for universities that were equal or superior to their own. The results were discussed in terms of the recent developments of social identity theory.
