Rediscovering the Social Group: A Self‐Categorization Theory

Intention to Purchase Counterfeit Luxury Products: A Comparative Study Between Pakistani and the UK Consumers

“…They also share common interests, norms and values (Triandis, 2001). Therefore, individuals in a collectivist society may observe themselves in a depersonalized manner where the personalities of individuals are blurred (Reid, 1987, Maines, 1989. In collectivist societies, the idea of sharing would increase the willingness of individuals to purchase counterfeits (Husted, 2000).…”

Multiple categorization and intergroup bias: Examining the generalizability of three theories of intergroup relations.

“…The differential strength with which various categorization dimensions affect attitudes is attributed to category salience (Crisp & Hewstone, 2007). According to self-categorization theory (Turner et al, 1987), category salience is a product of the readiness of a perceiver to use a specific category (accessibility) and the fit MULTIPLE CATEGORIZATION AND INTERGROUP BIAS 7 between category representations and the stimulus. In multiple categorization scenarios the fit is usually a constant (categories are explicitly stated in the stimuli and the variation in the stimuli is controlled) unless there is contextual variation in category representations.…”

“…The dual-route model of crossed categorization suggests that category importance moderates the effects of categorization dimensions through both cognitive and affective routes. Category importance increases category accessibility (Turner et al, 1987), which in turn makes it more readily available both for cognitive processing and affective evaluation (Crisp et al, 2003).…”

“…We hypothesize that the higher the importance of a categorization dimension to the self, the stronger MULTIPLE CATEGORIZATION AND INTERGROUP BIAS 9 is intergroup bias on that dimension (H1). Considering the universality of cognitive processes underlying identification (Turner et al, 1987), we expect this effect to be similar across contexts and dimensions of social categorization. As to generalizability across perceiver and target groups, there is mixed evidence suggesting that depending on circumstances, both high-status and low-status groups can show stronger identification with the ingroup (Branscombe et al, 1999;Roccas, 2003) and more intergroup bias (Bettencourt et al, 2001;Scheepers et al, 2006).…”

Follower-Centered Perspective on Feedback: Effects of Feedback Seeking on Identification and Feedback Environment

“…According to social identity theory, individuals tend to include themselves into corresponding groups to simply the world ( Reid, 1987 ). Social identity theory implies that people possess a self-improvement mechanism ( Anseel et al, 2007 ) and generally seek a positive identity or role in relation to the team to improve their individual position.…”
