Abstract

There have been contradictory findings concerning our attitude toward deviant group members; some argue that pro-norm deviants are preferred to anti-norm deviants (e.g., Abrams et al., 2000); others propose that any type of deviant is negatively evaluated to be the target of expulsion (e.g., Parks & Stone, 2010). This article argues that group task conditions could cause these conflicting findings. Employing a revised intergroup public goods dilemma game, this study found that people were willing to expel a selfish member (an anti-norm deviant) even by sacrificing their own income when the deviant’s actions seriously deteriorated the group performance as well as their personal performance. By contrast, people hoped to retain an altruistic member (a pro-norm deviant) as the deviant’s behavior was beneficial to them and had a positive influence on team morale. The intention to expel a selfish member became stronger when an altruistic member being in the same group than when no altruistic person being in the group. Results suggest that conflicts of interests as a group task feature can be a critical factor to influence people’s judgment and reaction to pro-norm and anti-norm deviants.
