Social Identity Theory
- - theory of group membership and intergroup relations based on
self-categorisation, social comparison and the construction of a
shared self-definition in terms of in-group defining properties
- Social Identity and Personal Identity
- Social identity is
associated with group
and intergroup
behaviours such as
ethnocentrism,
ingroup bias, group
solidarity, intergroup
discrimination,
conformity, normative
behaviour,
stereotyping and
prejudice
- Personal identity is
associated with
positive and
negative close
interpersonal
relationships and
with idiosyncratic
personal behaviour
- Process of Social Identity Salience
- Our sense of self and associated perceptions
rest on whether social or personal identity, and
which is the psychologically salient basis of
self-conception
- Metacontrast principle -
the prototype of a group
is that position within
the group that has the
largest ratio of
'differences to ingroup
positions' to 'differences
to outgroup positions'
- Structural Fit
- If the
categorisation
fits in the sense
that it accounts
for similarities
and differences
between people
satisfactorily
- Normative Fit
- If it makes good
sense of why people
are behaving in
particular ways
