INTERPERSONAL PERCEPTION AND BIAS

In preparing for the presentation to the SFO delegation, Lumi said it was important to understand how American officials might behave differently from Finnish officials. Marko laughed and said, $$Yeah$,$ you$$re in for a big shock. These Americans are so blunt and rude. They will not let you finish a sentence before interrupting, and they act as if they know everything, and anyone from a different country is clueless. I$$ve had very little contact with Americans, but I have seen how they are portrayed in movies, and it seems they are all alike.$$

Teppo added, $$I wish everyone were like the Finnish. I mean, we do our homework and do not have to ask many questions, because we know what is going on before we get to a meeting. It is so much better to be like us and show respect by being prepared. Why can$$t everyone be like that?$$

Finally, Fernanda commented, $$You guys are freaking me out! I am not good with being attacked in meetings. If they treat me like I$$m clueless, I$$m probably going to end up acting like I$$m clueless.$$ Which comment provides evidence of In$-$Group Favoritism?
