Consider the following scenario:

You are assigned to work with three other students in your class on a group project. The instructions have been given, and your class has been asked to get into groups and start brainstorming an outline for the project. The three classmates you are assigned are good friends, but you have not worked with them yet. When you join the group, they are not responsive to your suggestions, only speak to one another, and begin the brainstorming process without your input.

What type of social categorization best represents this scenario?

Select one:
A. Ingroup
B. Outgroup
C. Unequal participant
D. Unaccepted

Outgroup is the social categorization that best represents this scenario. In this situation, as you are not included in the conversation or decision-making process, you are being treated as an outgroup member by your classmates. Outgroup members are often viewed as different and less preferred, leading to a lack of inclusion and collaboration.
