Tajfel and Turner (1979) (SIT)

Respuesta: Description: Conflict is caused by our desire to create a positive social identity. To do this we view out-groups negatively and in-groups positively. Evidence: - Cialdini (1976) (BIRGing) - Tajfel et al. (1971) (minimal group paradigm) Applications: politics, celebrity advertising, conflict/cooperation, anti-racism campaigns.

Cialdini et al. (1976)

Respuesta: Aim- To determine the effect of social identity theory on college football supporters. Methods - After a football match, Cialdini recorded how many people wore college sweaters. Results - The supporters of the winning team were more likely to be seen wearing supporters clothing than the losing team. Lost = \"they\", won = \"we\".
