Social Identity Theory
2016Co-Authors: Michael A HoggAbstract:Social Identity Theory is an interactionist Social psychological Theory of the role of self-conception and associated cognitive processes and Social beliefs in group processes and intergroup relations. Originally introduced in the 1970s primarily as an account of intergroup relations, it was significantly developed at the start of the 1980s as a general account of group processes and the nature of the Social group. Since then, Social Identity Theory has been significantly extended through a range of sub-theories that focus on Social influence and group norms, leadership within and between groups, self-enhancement and uncertainty reduction motivations, deindividuation and collective behavior, Social mobilization and protest, and marginalization and deviance within groups. The Theory has also been applied and developed to explain organizational phenomena and the dynamics of language and speech style as Identity symbols. Chapter 1 provides a relatively comprehensive and accessible overview of Social Identity Theory, with an emphasis on its analysis of intergroup conflict.

the Social Identity Theory of leadership theoretical origins research findings and conceptual developments
European Review of Social Psychology, 2012Co-Authors: Michael A Hogg, Daan Van Knippenberg, David E RastAbstract:Over the past decade the Social Identity Theory of leadership (Hogg, 2001a; Hogg & van Knippenberg, 2003) has reinvigorated Social psychological research on leadership by reconnecting leadership to the Social psychology of influence, and by explicitly elaborating on the (Social) Identity function, and associated Social cognitive and Social interactive processes, associated with leadership. The main tenet is that group prototypical leaders are better supported and more trusted, and are perceived as more effective by members than are less prototypical leaders; particularly when group membership is a central and salient aspect of members’ Identity and members identify strongly with the group. This hypothesis has attracted unequivocal support across numerous studies, research teams, and research paradigms. In this article we describe the Social Identity Theory of leadership and its conceptual origins, and overview the state of evidence. The main focus of the article is on new conceptual developments and assoc...

Integrating Social Identity Theory and the Theory of planned behaviour to explain decisions to engage in sustainable agricultural practices.
British Journal of Social Psychology, 2008Co-Authors: Kelly S. Fielding, Barbara M. Masser, Deborah J Terry, Michael A HoggAbstract:The present research integrates core aspects of Social Identity Theory with the Theory of planned behaviour to investigate factors influencing engagement in sustainable agricultural practices. Using a two-wave prospective design, two studies were conducted with samples of farmers (N = 609 and N = 259, respectively). At Time 1, a questionnaire survey assessed Theory of planned behaviour variables in relation to engaging in riparian zone management (a sustainable agricultural practice). In addition, intergroup perceptions (i.e. relations between rural and urban groups), group norms and group identification were assessed. At Time 2, self-reported behaviour was measured. There was support for the integrated model across both studies. As predicted, past behaviour, attitudes and perceived behavioural control were significant predictors of intentions, and intentions significantly predicted self-reported behaviour. Group norms and intergroup perceptions were also significant predictors of intentions providing support for the inclusion of Social Identity concepts in the Theory of planned behaviour. More supportive group norms were associated with higher intentions, especially for high-group identifiers. In contrast, more negative intergroup perceptions were associated with lower intentions and, unexpectedly, this effect only emerged for low-group identifiers. This suggests that in the context of decisions to engage in riparian zone management, an important sustainable agricultural practice, high identifiers are influenced predominantly by in-group rather than out-group considerations, whereas low identifiers may attend to cues from both the in-group and the out-group when making their decisions.

Demographic category membership and leadership in small groups: A Social Identity analysis
The Leadership Quarterly, 2006Co-Authors: Michael A Hogg, Kelly S. Fielding, Daniel Johnson, Barbara M. Masser, Emily Russell, Alicia SvenssonAbstract:Developing the Social Identity Theory of leadership (e.g., [Hogg, M. A. (2001). A Social Identity Theory of leadership. Personality and Social Psychology Review, 5, 184–200]), an experiment (N = 257) tested the hypothesis that as group members identify more strongly with their group (salience) their evaluations of leadership effectiveness become more strongly influenced by the extent to which their demographic stereotype-based impressions of their leader match the norm of the group (prototypicality). Participants, with more or less traditional gender attitudes (orientation), were members, under high or low group salience conditions (salience), of non-interactive laboratory groups that had “instrumental” or “expressive” group norms (norm), and a male or female leader (leader gender). As predicted, these four variables interacted significantly to affect perceptions of leadership effectiveness. Reconfiguration of the eight conditions formed by orientation, norm and leader gender produced a single prototypicality variable. Irrespective of participant gender, prototypical leaders were considered more effective in high then low salience groups, and in high salience groups prototypical leaders were more effective than less prototypical leaders. Alternative explanations based on status characteristics and role incongruity Theory do not account well for the findings. Implications of these results for the glass ceiling effect and for a wider Social Identity analysis of the impact of demographic group membership on leadership in small groups are discussed.

integrating Social Identity and the Theory of planned behavior predicting withdrawal from an organizational recruitment process
Personnel Psychology, 2012Co-Authors: Brian K Griepentrog, Crystal M Harold, Brian C Holtz, Richard J Klimoski, Sean M MarshAbstract:The current study develops and tests a model of applicant withdrawal. Drawing on tenets from Social Identity Theory and the Theory of planned behavior, the current study proposes that applicants who highly identify with an organization will experience higher pursuit intentions and subsequently be less inclined to withdraw from recruitment. Data were collected from a sample of 669 applicants to the U.S. Military at two intervals, separated by three months. Strong support was found for the proposed theoretical model. Implications for research and practice will be discussed.

Social Identity Theory and party identification
Social Science Quarterly, 2004Co-Authors: Steven GreeneAbstract:Objective. Given that the group aspect of party identification forms a central, yet largely unexplored element of American partisanship, Social Identity Theory presents a compelling Social-psychological Theory of group belonging through which to reinterpret the contemporary understanding of partisanship. Methods. Using a mail survey of 302 randomly selected Franklin County, Ohio residents, levels of Social identification with the Democratic Party, the Republican Party, and political independents are measured using the Identification with a Psychological Group (IDPG) scale. Scores on the IDPG are used to predict attitudes toward parties and the consistency of partisan behavior. Results. Levels of partisan Social Identity proved to be significant predictors of political party ratings, ideology, and party activities, even when taking traditional measures of partisan strength into account. Conclusions. Social Identity is a fundamental aspect of partisanship, which, when measured, can lead to superior prediction and understanding of related political attitudes and behaviors.

understanding party identification a Social Identity approach
Political Psychology, 1999Co-Authors: Steven GreeneAbstract:Social Identity Theory holds that individuals derive their self-concept from knowledge of their membership in a group (or groups) and that they place value and emotional significance on that group membership, with resulting perceptual and attitudinal biases. Individuals favor the in-group to which they belong which they define against a relevant out-group. In this study, a partisan Social Identity scale was used to reinterpret perceptual features of partisanship through the lens of Social Identity Theory. The Social Identity of political independents was also examined in an effort to explain the anomalous behavior and Identity of partisan leaners. Social Identity Theory provided a viable alternative framework for understanding the common bipolarity of perceptions regarding the two major U.S. political parties. In addition, an independent Social identification may, in part, explain the Identity of partisan leaners.

when do small shareholders take action against their firm a Social Identity approach to small shareholder activism
Social Science Research Network, 2012Co-Authors: Katarina Sikavica, Anja TuschkeAbstract:Although shareholder activism has gained in importance over the years and a growing body of literature has investigated activism-related problems companies face, little is known about activism by small individual shareholders. We attempt to fill this void by investigating under which conditions small shareholders are likely to take action against their organizations. Building on Social Identity Theory we suggest and discuss a series of propositions in regard of factors that are likely to trigger activism by individual small shareholders.
