 abstract={This paper investigates how active opponents and supporters of vaccination (meeting the criteria of group members) perceive each other in the context of the dimensions of competence and warmth, and how they perceive each other’s group identity. The study was conducted online, the final research sample included 192 committed pro-vaccine and 156 committed anti-vaccine group members. Both groups assigned an average level of competence to the other group, while they rated the outgroup’s warmth as below average. These results may be associated with the conflicting attitudes of these groups. It also turned out that both groups evaluated each other’s identities above the theoretical average. Results are discussed in context of the concept of in-group bias and the heterogeneity of motivations causing vaccine rejection.},
