Social Identity Theory: Your Group Rules, Others Drool
About this episode
The episode explores Social Identity Theory and its implications on group behavior and perceptions.
In the 80s, a pair of psychologists theorized why being part of a group can change people’s thoughts and feelings, both about themselves and other people. It sounds dry, but SIT explains everything from how people justify genocide to football rivalries. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
