Group members' perceptions of one another change in a negative manner where a distinction is made between "in-group" and "out-group".

Members of groups in conflict develop an "us versus them" mentality and view members of the other group as fundamentally different from themselves but similar to each other. 

Group members become more cohesive to compete against a "common enemy".

Quality of intergroup interactions (e.g., communication) may decline among groups in conflict, which in turn may decrease the quality of work.

Negative perceptions of the other group may be transferred to incoming group members.
