Se ha examinado la influencia de una norma endogrupal (pro-discriminación vs. anti-discriminación) en una muestra de 222 estudiantes universitarios suizos (144 mujeres) en función del favoritismo endogrupal (participantes inicialmente igualitarios vs. moderadamente discriminadores), la percepción de la capacidad que tienen los inmigrantes para adaptarse en Suiza (moderada vs. alta) y la amenaza que los inmigrantes introducen para la identidad nacional suiza (baja vs. alta). La norma endogrupal y la amenaza intergrupo fueron manipuladas experimentalmente, mientras que el favoritismo endogrupal inicial y la capacidad de adaptación percibida fueron medidas al inicio del estudio. La variable dependiente era el cambio en el favoritismo endogrupal. Se observaron cambios significativos únicamente en los participantes que inicialmente eran moderadamente discriminadores. La norma anti-discriminación obtiene una mayor influencia (disminución del favoritismo endogrupal) cuando la amenaza es baja y los inmigrantes son percibidos como altamente adaptables en Suiza. La norma pro-discriminación obtiene una influencia (aumento del favoritismo endogrupal) cuando la amenaza es alta y los inmigrantes son percibidos sólo como moderadamente adaptables. Estos resultados confirman la importancia de factores, tanto contextuales como disposicionales, que legitiman los procesos de influencia normativa en las actitudes intergrupo.
