Collectivists are, by definition, prone to elevate the wishes of the group over their own. This makes collectivists particularly vulnerable to biases that accompany group affiliation. These include:

In-group favoritism. Affinity for people who belong to the same group. Special treatment is given to in-group members that is not afforded to outsiders.

Out-group derogation. Those in out-groups are seen as threating and inferior. Outsiders become targets of discrimination and ridicule.

In-group influence. In-group members will be prone to shift their personal views toward those of the group.

In-group extremity. Extreme behavior that individuals would never condone by themselves is endorsed when they are members of a group.

Group uniqueness and superiority. Belief that the in-group possesses characteristics that are unique and superior to those of other groups.

The higher a person rates on the collectivist scale, the greater the tendency that this person will display these affiliation biases.
