TLDR
The goal of the present study was to investigate the causal direction of influence between the ingroup as a whole and the self or another ingroup member considering a key feature of groups, i.e., their perceived meaningfulness, and it is expected that the meaningfulness attributed to a group moderates the direction of causality between individual and ingroup perception.

Self-stereotyping and social context: the effects of relative in-group size and in-group status.

TLDR
In 2 laboratory experiments, the tendency to stereotype oneself in terms of one's group membership as a function of the social context was examined and confirmed the prediction that minority members are more likely than majority members to stereotype themselves.

Gender differences in implicit gender self-categorization lead to stronger gender self-stereotyping by women than by men

It was hypothesized that, in natural group contexts, low-status in-group membership would be highly accessible, whereas membership to high-status groups would not. Therefore, gender group membership…

Self-Stereotyping: The Central Role of an Ingroup Threatening Identity

TLDR
The findings supported the idea that only low-status group members protected themselves when their group identity was threatened through increased self-stereotyping, and motivated them to protect their self-perception by increasing their similarity with the ingroup.

Development of new group members' in-group and out-group stereotypes: changes in perceived group variability and ethnocentrism.

TLDR
Although out-groups were initially perceived as more dispersed than in-groups, decreased out-group dispersion resulted in a shift towardOut-group homogeneity, and Ethnocentrism was present at every wave but decreased because of decreased in-group positivity.

The Cognitive Representation of Self-Stereotyping

TLDR
The present work looks at the self-stereotyping process and reveals its underlying cognitive structure, finding that the status of one’s social group was found to be a key variable in this process, showing that self-Stereotypesing is limited to low-status group members.
