Social Identity Theory
Social Identity Theory:
• Suggests that the groups we join automatically
become the in-group and all other groups become
out-groups.
• Can lead to discrimination and intergroup conflicts
in extreme situations
TAJFEL (1970) - Giving points to art groups
● AIM: See if intergroup discrimination would take place when put into different groups
regardless of any prior prejudice
● PROCEDURE:
○ 48 boys aged 14-15
○ Rate 12 paintings and told that they were placed in groups based on ratings (but
was random)
○ P. had to award points to a boy from each of the two groups using one of two point
allocation systems
■ SYSTEM 1: Points linked, sum of points was 15 - the other boy given
remainder of points
■ SYSTEM 2: G.1 member gave higher value to in-group, out-group would
receive more points. Mid-range values were equal for both groups, if low
value for in-group, only 1 point awarded to out-group.
● FINDINGS:
○ SYSTEM 1: More points given to in-group (in-group favouritism)
