Abstract
Ethnic affiliation, people respectively nation is a factor that affects the formation of attitudes and consequently the formation of ethnic bias. Besides many human needs, some authors point out that there is a connection with the group identify with the group. The need to meet the group, social psychologists say, is imperative; it deeply affects human social activity. Belonging to ethnic groups play a significant role in shaping the attitudes of the individuals. The person will choose those attitudes that serve to satisfy his needs. But meeting the needs associated with group rates. Individual's starts too early to reveal and teach the group agreed with the thoughts and behavior in accordance with the norms of the group - is rewarded. Particular group affiliation is an important factor that directly affects behavior in the formation of individual attitudes and makes it possible to determine more specific causes of action and the presence of certain attitudes. Social Relief is the most basic form of influence. When you work side by side with someone without having interacted with him, realizations are different than when you work yourself. If your task is easy or what you have learned well, it is highly likely to have better realization in the presence of other people, as example jogging with (outdoor jogging) friend. This effect is called social influence. If the task is heavy or that still have not learned well, then it is highly likely to have the worst realization in the presence of other people. This is called social inhibition. Since both the relief and inhibition present or certainly response that occurs when the individual acts in the presence of other people (Zajonc, 1965).
