Describe how you would think about social identity theory as it relates to your own memberships in two groups. Explain what is meant by a particular social identity being salient, and what that might mean for your attitudes and/or behaviors
What will be an ideal response?
In my case, I am a student but also a member of a family. When I am at school, my student identity is the salient one. When talking with one of my brothers, my family identity is most salient. In my student identity, I see myself as, and behave in keeping with, being studious, bookish, and a little bit argumentative. When talking with family members, I try to stay away from the psychological jargon and focus on my role as a good brother and uncle. In that capacity, I am less analytical and more open about feelings.
