social identity OFFI

social identity OFFI WORK ON THIS WORK ON THIS WORK ON THIS

QuestionAnswer
scientist tajfel & turner 1979
theory All human beings tend to compare themselves to another person or compare your ‘group’ vs another ‘group’. Each time you do this you are forming your identity Our social identity is our sense of who we are based on out group memberships
groups are Groups are an important part of pride & self esteem - we experience a sense of belonging and this provides is with an identity in the world we may not have had otherwise
maintain self esteem - groups To maintain self esteem, we increase the status of the group or by comparing it against other groups and being discriminatory towards them
three mental processes use to determine and maintain who is part of our in-group and our out-group 1) Social categorisation 2) Social identification 3) Social comparison
Social categorisation Is where we sort people & objects so that we are able to understand and identify them. We extend this to ourselves as well, so that we are able to understand our environment and act appropriately
Social identification Is where we adopt the behaviour attitudes and beliefs of the groups we belong to
Social comparison Is where we compare our in-group with other groups to affirm our identity. Tajfel states that we maintain self-esteem when our group can be compared positively with other groups
prejudice - once two groups have identified as being different, it is important for them to maintain this difference so that the members of each group can maintain their self esteem Groups can compete for resources, as much as they are competing to maintain identity
