If all my professors taught like this, I would actually enjoy school. Thank you!

Thank you so much, this has genuinely helped me understand social identity theory.

This is great! Easily the best non bs explanation that I could find on the net. You have a great way of clearly breaking things down and making them easy to understand. Thanks..

Excellent video, clear and concise, it helped me a lot to understand this concepts! Thank you so much! Also, goldfishes being prejudiced against green fish for supposedly being water thieves will live forever in my mind 😀 Greetings from Argentina!

Such a good informative video! It's hard to see a connection between all the theories, but you made these ones a bit easier! Thanks :)

thank you so much, love how you make these theories interesting and easy to understand!

Literally the best, clear-cut explanation of social identity theory! Kept me engaged throughout the whole video, helped so much :)

This is a very detailed explanation of this theory. It has helped me in preparation of my assignment. Thank you so much.

Amazing, wonderful work! Thank you so much!!

This was explained so well, THANK YOU!

Best video on SIT I've seen!

Just want to say you enabled me to pass my social exam (year 2 psychology undergrad). The lecturer I had for this - I just could not get on with his teaching style and basically knew nothing by the end of the year. This video helped unbelievably amounts and wish everything could be taught in this way - thank you so much! Great teacher

Video information really useful, made the load lighter, thank you

Thank you so much. This was of great help.

Really helpful, have 2 timed essay exams tomorrow, and this perfectly puts many points across that I can use to expand on...... THANK YOU :D

Thank you for this! Really appreciate it. Helps me so much.

Thanks for the video, very interesting theory and most importantly, I like how you provide additional information with regards to Tajfel's background.

This is such a great video to study from, thank you so much!

Thank you so much! You have a very calm demeanor! (Cough cough... Sociology 1)

Thanks! Subscribed!

Thank you alot

Thank you so much, Do you have a question? Does self-concept influence people to establish a social identity?

Thanks for this.I am writing my thesis mainly centering around obesity and this is one of the theories i wanted to use in my theoretical framework.I think it is much more clear.maybe you could give me some ideas if you please.

Nice video

Please can you explain the application of SIT in re-enforcement / formation of ethnic identity?

thank you

Found this very good but really need to slow down a little bit, it was very difficult to keep up the pace with fast talking about a complex initially, topic. But! Very greatfull for the video. Thankyou

thank uuuu :))

Does anyone know the title of the study about the biological evidence mentioned at 22:11 please? Great video bdw!! Very helpful!

Thank you for such a relaxed, easy to understand, but very informative video.

Even if we consider social learning and cultural differences as reasons for creating individual behavioural patterns we call biased, can we not also argue that the cultural differences are products of groups differentiation actions? What we learn and are socialized into are also products of cultures developed to make "us" different from "them".

Catgorisation cannot come prior to Comparison it a result of not a ground.

Great video! Just one question: You interpret the numbers in the table of minute 21:00 row-wise. Doing so, it seems that Group C is an outlier. However, this does not take the characteristics level of the group into account. You could also interpret the numbers column-wise: While C judges itself quite low on favourable characteristics (-0.10), the others rate c even lower (-.52 and -.69). Similarly, C rates itself quite unfavourable (.17); however, Group A and B rate Group C even more unfavourable (.49 and .73). The same pattern is evident with the other groups and would confirm the theory. Is this interpretation viable or have I made some mistake? Thanks in advance!

The explanation for why people in groups may sometimes hack other people to death or shoot them is primarily the result of group coercion is not a paper preference. If the group has leadership that instigates homicide of "others" to "benefit" the group, members of the group whose self-identity revolts against the directive faces two issues: Coercion from the group (10,000 German soldiers executed by Germany for refusal to follow commands), and humiliation as being opposed to the group goals, which also puts the individual in danger. This is basic herd theory and the double bind. You are damed if you do and damned if you don't. If you are not running with the herd or the pack, you are at risk of death. Rwanda genocide. But also 1968 Indonesia massacre and those in Central America, Brazil, and America against indigenous.And then there is synergy. Truman Capote put his finger on it when he wrote "In Cold Blood". He thought that neither of the men's personalities by themselves would have resulted in the killings. But together, they fed off of each other and that created the "perfect psychological storm" that enabled the killings as a joint effort. That explains much of the sociopathic behavior we see in politics and other mass events.

How much individual variance is there in ingroup favoritism? Zero? Sounds like it from this presentation.

Framing our history as a 'clash' is like saying the Nazis 'disagreed' with Jewish peoples in Germany... the illegal British invasion of native lands ensuing genocide was a little more than a series of 'clashes'. This video provided a detailed and useful insight into how people identify with a group, but please do justice to our Indigenous citizens.

Good explanation but can I request something? Can you give an example of a movie or video clip that social identity theory is present? Thanks, just really need it to understand it more. Hope I hear from you soon :)

What about social identification?

Hi, its me

I really enjoyed your lecture, you speak fast, I'll probably end up watching it again. My opinion on the Houlcaust is.... The Germans just couldn't afford to feed them, toward the end, they couldn't afford to feed themselves (Dutch hunger winter) and took the food of another country and starved them. It was more economical not to feed the Jews and experiment on them, getting whatever they could out of them in their starvation. And when they took and murdered them, it be nothing more than desposing of, throwing away some biological entropy. It's also my opinion, the murding covered up the cognitive dissonance of not being able to feed and care for their prisoners of war ( The Jews). Paul

you're the man, thanks bro GOOOO THE ALL BLACKS

saving my predicted grades

Would you like to rate yourself from 1 to 10 about your awareness OF SELF-IDENTITY? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KoBxm0FJY3U.html

There is evidence to suggest that ISIS gained a lot of power simply because local extent governments were not able to provide basic sustenance in the region after a long drought. Most people joined due to promises of food, not because they wished to become terrorists and have a sense of belonging.

sir you written explanation was very good but during explaining that you are confused

Speaks so fast 😩

Bias tests have been proven not to work .. infact they can contribute to making it worse .. and after that you seem to be outing yourself as a politically comprised person. This lends me to believe your lens is biased towards specific visions of society.

At the end you question whether the SIT can explain immoral actions such as mass murder. I recently developed the model of the neurological spectrum which ranges from individual identity to collective identity and which is able to explain these behaviours. If you're interested, I wrote about it at franklludwig.com/neurospectrum.html
