Social identity: The role of self in group processes and intergroup relations (2017, background): “We focus on and document just some of what we consider to be the most significant conceptual developments and extensions that have been made, over the past 20 years, to social identity theory broadly defined (also see Abrams & Hogg, 2010; Hogg, 2016).”
RETRACTED: The effect of servant leadership on group collective organizational deviance-mediating effect of team egoism (2021, background): “13 As the core person in the team, team leader’s behavior style reflects the unique characteristics of the team to a large extent, and plays an important role in the behavior of team members.”
The Negative Effects of Social Capital in Organizations: A Review and Extension (2017, neutral): “Major structural transformations often provoke anxiety for the organization’s employees and are difficult to manage (Olson and Terpstra 1992), because they threaten the extant social identities of managers and employees (Ashforth and Mael 1989; Scheepers and Ellemers 2005).”
(Mis)estimating Affective Polarization (2021, background): “Certainly, thinking of oneself as a partisan will lead to perceptions that the other side is a distant and disliked other (Hogg 2006).”
Ingroup favoritism in cooperation: a meta-analysis. (2014, background): “Because both theories share the same emphasis on the process of categorization in relation to ingroup favoritism, as in past research, we discuss both perspectives under the label of SIT (see Ellemers & Haslam, 2012).”
Uncertain Self in a Changing World: A Foundation for Radicalisation, Populism, and Autocratic Leadership (2020, background): “This is because the most reliable and trusted source of ingroup identity information is typically the group’s (formal or informal) leader or leadership (e.g. Hogg, 2018b, 2020).”
Engineering stress culture: Relationships among mental health, engineering identity, and sense of inclusion (2021, methodology): “SIT is also related to intergroup conflict (Hogg, 2016) and intergroup discrimination (Spears, 2011).”
When does a compliment become sexist? Analysis and classification of ambivalent sexism using twitter data (2017, background): “Becker and Wagner (2008) introduce Gender Identity Model (GIM) using social identity theory (SIT) (Hogg, 2016) and social role theory (SRT) (Eagly et al., 2000) to explain women’s endorsement of sexist beliefs.”
The queen bee phenomenon: Why women leaders distance themselves from junior women (2016, background): “By contrast, individual-level strategies aim to benefit individual outcomes by distancing the self from the disadvantaged group and seeking acceptance into a group with higher status (“individual mobility”; Ellemers & Haslam, 2011).”
A Post-Racial Society in Which Ethnic-Racial Discrimination Still Exists and Has Significant Consequences for Youths’ Adjustment (2016, background): “…to the more affective component of ethnicracial identity (i.e., affirmation), social identity theory suggests that feeling positively about one’s social group membership is essential for maintaining a positive selfconcept in the face of threat against one’s social group (Tajfel & Turner, 1986).”
The Pitfalls and Promise of Increasing Racial Diversity: Threat, Contact, and Race Relations in the 21st Century (2018, background): “…and, further, that larger or growing minority groups elicit feelings of threat in the dominant majority that often engender prejudice (Blalock, 1967; Blumer, 1958; for recent reviews of theories relevant to how increasing diversity may relate to threat, see Hogg, 2016; Jost & van der Toorn, 2012).”
The skill paradox: explaining and reducing employment discrimination against skilled immigrants (2015, background): “Central to SIT is the notion of the social self (or group self; Ellemers, 2012), according to which individuals define in part who they are through their membership in social groups (for recent reviews of SIT, see Abrams & Hogg, 2010; Ellemers & Haslam, 2011).”
Rival conceptions of rivalry: why some competitions mean more than others (2015, neutral): “The development of SIT was influenced by Realistic Group Conflict Theory, which emphasized that conflict between the interests of groups leads to actual conflict (Campbell, 1965; Sherif, Harvey, White, Hood, & Sherif, 1954).”
