Interpersonal attraction, social identification and psychological group formation

Abstract: Two perspectives on the nature of the social group and psychological group formation are discussed. The traditional social cohesion approach traces group formation to processes of interpersonal attraction, while the social identity approach defines the group in cognitive terms and considers identification, or self-categorization, to be the mechanism of psychological group formation. On the basis of an experiment by Turner, Sachdev and Hogg (1983)

“…The third principle describes social identifi cation as distinctly different from internalization ( Hogg and Turner, 1987 ).

“…Organizational status is carried over in determining members' status in the market. Higher organizational status also becomes a source of pride for members that differs from the respect that results from an individual's status within an organization (Hogg, 1992;Hogg & Turner, 1985;Tyler, 2001). This organizational status argument predicts that, other things being equal, the higher the status and performance expectation of an organization within an industry, the greater is its members' dependence on this aspect of cultural capital.…”

“…A leading social identity theorist, Hogg (1992), suggests a similar distinction by indicating that individuals' identification with social categories constitutes the minimal condition of a group, and this cannot be reduced to interpersonal attachments; psychological groups emerge through individuals' attachment to (or identification with) a group even in the absence of interpersonal relationships among its members (also see Hogg & Turner, 1985).
