A Three-Factor Model of Social Identity

The social identity structure is very important in the research and theory of group process and intergroup relation, but the problem of that dimension remains unsolved. It has been suggested that social identity can be represented by three factors: centrality, internal group influence, and internal chain. I tested the validity of the model in five studies and used a total of 1078 respondents, non-student samples, and three group members (university, gender, and nationality). The results of the confirmatory factor analysis support the acceptability of the three-dimensional model, which better matches the data than the one- or two-dimensional (cognitive / impact) options. The correlation with the theoretically related variables confirms the validity of convergence and discriminant of these three factors. Consider the advantages and meanings of the three factor model, especially social identity theory

The three-step model of the development of Jean S. Phinney's ethnic identity is a widely accepted concept of cultural identity formation. In this model, cultural identity is usually developed through a three-step process: uncensored cultural identity, search for cultural identity, and achievement of cultural identity. Uncensored cultural identity: "Because a person's cultural identity is considered a natural stage, I have little interest in exploring cultural issues." For example, when cultivating a child, Usually people at this stage will accept cultural ideas from parents, media, community etc.

Everyone has many social identities, the social groups they belong to, and the culture, culture, beliefs, and values ​​they subscribe to. It depends on many factors within the context which identity dominates a particular interaction. The language used, the relationship with others, the way participants identify each other. Policy formulation (yes) is extremely important, not only facts of social classification, but also singularity of classification by listing cultural values ​​and ethics related to ranking of social character and position, for example. In the areas of these possibilities and limitations, these conditions give meaning to social practice, and ultimately are used to realize human concepts.

The definition we propose has three important meanings. First, the specific association of different identities may change due to the influence of cultural and social factors. In this sense, cultural and social factors act as meta constraints on the category label type (and their respective content) and people can form, change and develop self-concepts in their own life . For example, gender identity causes different attitudes and behavioral norms in different cultures (eg, Luna, Ringberg, and Peracchio, 2008), and the concept of "father" as a relationship between humans and children changes over time. to change. From childhood to adulthood. The second important meaning is that one or more unique identities may have varying degrees of "overlapping" associations (Deaux et al., 1995). This is an important principle, which will be explained in detail later.
