	20th WCP: The Preconditions of Social Identity of a Small State in Transition to Democracy
		The essential condition for a small nation’s identity and survival is based on the people’s resolution to rely on themselves and to envision the potential for their own country.
		Social identity is expressed as knowing and also as the feeling of dependence to society and of responsibility to it and also as the wish to belong to it.
		The indicated abnormal social differences serve as a weakening factor for such a vital element of social identity as a feeling of belonging to a community and a wish to belong to it.

	Social identity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Social Identity Theory is a theory formed by Henri Tajfel and John Turner to understand the psychological basis of intergroup discrimination.
		Social Identity Theory is thus concerned both with the psychological and sociological aspects of group behaviour.
		Just to reiterate, in social identity theory the group membership is not something foreign which is tacked onto the person, it is a real, true and vital part of the person.

	The Impact of Gender on Ad Processing: A Social Identity Perspective by Rachel Maldonado, Patriya Tansuhaj, and Darrel ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		A gender group identity is an example of a social identity in which one sees oneself as a member of his or her gender group.
		Social identity theorists point out that in addition to the traits or characteristics people use to describe themselves as unique individuals, they also locate themselves in the social context through their claims to social categories such as race, religion, gender or age.
		Social identity is defined as, “that part of an individual’s self-concept which derives from his knowledge of his membership of a social group (or groups) together with the value and emotional significance attached to that membership” (Tajfel 1981, p.

	Rutgers Self Symposium Description
		Although the notions of self and identity have long been important parts of Psychology and other social and behavioral sciences, it was not until relatively recently that research and theory began to fulfill the promise of William James' (1890) view of self and identity as multifaceted phenomena central to understanding human thought, feeling, and behavior.
		Given the quantity and quality of research on self and social identity, there is a need for a continuing forum dedicated to this topic.
		This group includes: Richard D. Ashmore (gender and ethnic identity; identity as a predisposing factor in personal and social problems); Lee Jussim (self-evaluation; self and interpersonal expectancies); Daniel M. Ogilvie (psychobiographic studies of self and social development); Seymour Rosenberg (identity content and structure; autobiography); David Wilder (social identity and intergroup relations).

	The Social Identity Theory (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		The Social identity approach is in stark contrast to individualistic theories such as Belbin's team role theory.
		In this case she is utilising social mobility beliefs, her behaviour is positioned at the interpersonal pole of the continuum and she identifies herself in terms of her individual differences.
		Therefore her behaviour lies at the inter-group pole; she is relying on social change beliefs and is identifying with the social identity she shares with other women.

	Identity (social science) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Identity is an umbrella term used throughout the social sciences for an individual's comprehension of him or herself as a discrete, separate entity.
		It is in this sense which sociologists and historians speak of a national identity of a particular country, and feminist and queer theorists speak of gender identity.
		Identity has been a central element of pride in social movements such as gay pride or fl consciousness, which seek to strengthen politically oppressed groups by improving members' sense of identity.

	Aspects of Identity
		Identity orientations refer to the relative importance that individuals place on various identity attributes or characteristics when constructing their self-definitions (Cheek, 1989).
		The development of the Aspects of Identity Questionnaire began with the selection of items from Sampson's (1978) list of identity characteristics that were judged to represent the domains of personal and social identity (Cheek & Briggs, 1981, 1982).
		Psychometric analyses indicated that certain items originally scored in the social identity category (e.g., "Being a part of the many generations of my family") were tending to cluster on a third factor representing communal or collective identity.

		Social identity is important for developing social skills and eventually ones own personal identity.
		One of the main mechanisms of achieving an identity during the teenage years is having a sense of social status among their peers (Douvan, 1966).
		The social support system developed in peer groups also help them cope with various developmental tasks that almost every teenager encounter since the other members are experiencing the same things too.

	Identities and the Internet:
		The idea of identity salience is employed and the relationship between identity and social support is assessed.
		But for the purposes of a social psychological investigation of cyberspace, the communicative impulse is perhaps the most important feature of this new "space" which we inhabit.
		Social relations invariably take on geographical expressions (Wolch and Dear, 1989) and within those expressions can be found the shared meanings which tend to construct the empirical world.

		Social identity theory was developed by Henri Tajfel and John Turner in 1979.
		Self-categorization theory is a social psychological theory developed by John Turner (1985) and colleagues (Turner, Hogg, Oakes, Reicher and Wetherell, 1987).
		Crucially for the study of social influence, the group level of abstraction is the level at which individuals tend to regard themselves as relatively interchangeable (in terms of perceptions and beliefs) with other people (Turner, 1982).

	Personal and Social Identity of Hard of Hearing People
		Complicating, and often producing later identity preferences, are the children's early life experiences; when a hearing loss is first detected in a child, we don't know if the child will eventually function as hard of hearing or deaf.
		These children do have conflicts in personal and social identity, and even though I am a strong advocate of their continued placement and education in regular, or modified regular school settings, we do these children no service by ignoring the realities that may confront them.
		The group support is not aimed at developing a new identity, but is aimed as assisting a person to assume his or her previous identity, and by this I mean one's former pattern 1of behaviors as much as possible.

	Mexican Youth in the Borderlands: The Construction of Social Identity
		Thus, social identity theory is used to provide the framework for understanding the interaction between the social categorizations of the self, the school context, and behavior.
		Social workers have an important role to play in current debates around school reform efforts, which often neglect social and psychological aspects of schooling.
		This paper is concerned with how the school environment works to define social categories in ways that can be oppressive, or conversely, empowering, and what meaning students give to their experiences in school given their social locations.

	Weatherhead Initiative - Treating Identity as a Variable
		Analysis of the development of social identities themselves has become an important focus of scholarly research and scholars using social identities as the building blocks of social, political, and economic life, have attempted to account for a number of discrete outcomes by treating identities as independent variables.
		The dominant implication of the vast literature on identity is that social identities are among the most important social facts of the world in which we live.
		In this project we have brought together scholars from a variety of disciplines and subdisciplines in order to consider the conceptual and methodological issues associated with treating identity as a variable, and we have explicitly sought to solve some of the coordination problems that have thus far impeded progress in identity scholarship.

		The desired outcomes recognise it is important for people to feel a sense of national identity and also to be able to belong to particular social or ethnic groups.
		Social networks can help to break down barriers and build a sense of trust between people – a phenomenon sometimes referred to as social capital.
		A strong national culture or identity, and strength in creative endeavours, can be a source of economic strength and higher material standards of living.

	Identity and Anonymity
		I specify social settings where the opposing values of anonymity or identity are required by law, policy, or social expectations.
		Many sources of identity are social and do not differentiate the individual from others sharing them (e.g., gender, ethnicity, religion, age, class, education, region, sexual orientation, linguistic patterns, organizational memberships and classifications, health status, employment, leisure activities, friendship patterns).
		More broadly social orientation to strangers and social regulation are aided by the clues about other aspects of identity presumed to be revealed by name and location (e.g., ethnicity, religion, life style).

		Most social software is designed as a replacement for face-to-face meetings, but the spread of permanet (connectivity like air) provides opportunities for social software to be used by groups who are already gathered in the same location.
		As social software, as exemplified by communication tools that complement social interaction evolves -- the key question is how much software forces a change in behavior (a cost) to create new functions (a benefit), or are their complementary adaptions to social, personal and cultural norms.

	Sports Fans: Social Identity Theory
		The social identity theory states that people are motivated to behave in ways that maintain and boost their self esteem.
		Even when a team looses, the social identity theory states that a person will still view the team just as positively because of the threat a defeat has to his or her own self esteem, now that the person has identified with the team.
		But if the fan is closely linked, the social identity theory further states that an individual will, in the face of defeat, still view their team just as positively.

		Employing scales that measure three forms of social identity: 1) mainstream identity (Western European culture), 2) Black identity and 3) collective identity, the present study examines the relationship between social identification and perceptions of racism in print news media.
		Participants who scored high on the Black identity scale, regardless of ethnicity, were more likely to perceive bias in a crime news brief.
		Social identity has the potential to influence whether or not we recognize racism in print news, and, implicitly, in society.

		Given the social role of language, it stands to reason that one strand of language study should concentrate on the role of language in society.
		In considering language as a social institution, sociolinguists often use sociological techniques involving data from questionnaires and summary statistical data, along with information from direct observation.
		Similarly, the use of sentence alternatives such as Pass the salt, Would you mind passing the salt, or I think this food could use a little salt is not a matter of simple sentence structure; the choice involves cultural values and norms of politeness, deference, and status.
