social identity theory

Social identity theory, more accurately the social identity perspective or approach, is a social psychological theory of the self-concept, group membership, group behavior, and intergroup relations. Originating in the work of Henri Tajfel in the late 1960s and collaboration with John Turner in the early to mid-1970s, social identity theory mainly focused on intergroup issues such as conflict and discrimination.
