Research from the University of Sydney has found people tend to discriminate in favour of individuals who show a similarity to them, even when the similarity arises from a random event like the flip of a coin.
The research runs counter to traditional theories, in particular social identity theory, that discrimination occurs because we divide people into groups.
It finds differences between individuals are enough to trigger discrimination.
