    Definition of a Group
    The experience of common fate.
    A group exists when two or more individuals
    perceive themselves to be members of the
    same social category.
    For other thinkers, the existence of some
    formal or implicit social structure, usually in the
    form of status and role relationships, is key.
    The family is a good example because its
    members have very well-defined relationships
    with one another ( as parent child, sibling etc.)
    The Individual–
    Group Relationship
    Allport's main point was that a term like the ‘group
    mind’ could not be independently verified; it was not
    possible to touch or observe this entity which was
    supposed to possess consciousness, apart from the
    individuals that comprised it.
    Interpersonal-
    Group Continuum
    Interpersonal behaviors show a range of individual
    differences among people.

    Group behaviors have to do more with conformity


    and uniformity, rather than differences.
    The presence or absence of
    two clearly identifiable social
    categories.

    The three Low or high variability

    criteria for
    between persons within each
    group in their attitudes or
    behaviour.
    distinction Low or high variability in one
    person's attitudes and
    behaviour towards other
    group members
    What distinguishes
    interpersonal and group
    behaviour is not
    primarily the number of
    people involved.
    Points to
    Remember:
    Interpersonal and group
    behaviors can co-exist.
    SOCIAL IDENTITY
    The manifold ways in which
    people define themselves in
    group terms and then attach
    value and emotion to those self-
    categorizations.
    Three Unifying Themes:
    THREE POINTS
    Social Identity, Social
    1.) What we perceive as important
    Context, and Social Action and what the situation demand.
    2.) You can't form a social identity
    without being a member of a group.
    3.) It is multi-faceted.
    Social Identity Theory Stages by
    Henri Tajfel
    SOCIAL CONTEXT
    Social context is where the social
    interaction occurs wherein the
    interaction influences the actions
    and decisions of the group
    Three Unifying Themes: members.
    Social Identity, Social POINTS IN SOCIAL CONTEXT
    Context, and Social Action 1.) Unity - What happens to one
    member happens to all members.
    2.) Social context evokes particular
    social identities based on their
    cultural values and norms.
    SOCIAL ACTION
    Social action is the capability

    Action
    Summary:
    1. A group is composed of two or more people possessing a common
    social identity.

    2. People in groups may act very differently from how they behave when
    they are in isolation.

    3. It is possible to conceive of all social behavior as lying on a continuum


    from interpersonal settings to group settings.
    Summary:
    4. Groups are important psychologically because they provide people with social
    identities. According to SIT, social identity has cognitive, evaluative, and
    emotional components: it comprises our knowledge of our group memberships
    and their associated evaluative and affective significance for us.

    5. SIT holds that people generally prefer a positive social identity and will
    work hard to sustain this. A group's positivity (or negativity) is most often
    established via comparisons with other groups. This leads people to seek
    positive distinctiveness in their dealings with other groups.
