According to social identity theory, formation of a person's identity within a particular social group is explained by the sequential process of ___:

A.

Social categorization, social identity, and social comparison

B.

Social identity, social categorization, and social comparison

C.

Social comparison, social identity, and social categorization

D.

Social comparison, social categorization, and social identity

Correct option is A

Correct Answer: 1 (Social categorization, social identity, and social comparison)

According to Social Identity Theory proposed by Henri Tajfel and John Turner, the formation of a person's social identity occurs through a sequential process involving:

social categorization → social identity → social comparison forms the foundation of how individuals perceive themselves in relation to social groups.


Information Booster :

1. Social Categorization

  • People classify themselves and others into groups based on characteristics like gender, religion, or profession.
  • This process creates in-groups (groups one belongs to) and out-groups (groups one does not belong to).

2. Social Identity

  • Individuals adopt the identity of their group, shaping their self-concept and behavior.
  • Group membership provides a sense of belonging, pride, and self-esteem.

3.Social Comparison

  • People evaluate their in-group by comparing it with out-groups.

Favorable comparisons boost self-esteem, while unfavorable ones may lead to bias or discrimination
