How can a collective identity enforce in-group/out-group processes?

What will be an ideal response?


Varies. This theory suggests that individuals seek a collective identity that helps provide them with a strong moral code. The group identity becomes stronger when there is an in-group/out-group distinction. Religious groups and organizations strive to create a moral commitment on the behalf of followers which leads to complying with the larger group norms and values.
