Abstract

Group membership shapes how we interact with others. Individuals tend to conform more to ingroup members than to outgroup members. In PNAS, Lin et al. report an intergroup conformity neural network that tracked the social influence of ingroup over outgroup members. However, we question the researchers’ interpretation of the findings.
