The Social Identity Theory
- Prejudice can be explained by
out tendency to identify
ourselves as part of a group
and to classify other peopl as
either within or outside that
group
- Merely being in a group and
being aware of the existence of
another group is enough for
prejudice to develop
- There are 3 stages;
- Social Categorisation

and others as members of
particular social groups

- Social Comparison
- Once we have categorised
ourselves as part of a group
and identified with that group
we compare that group with
other groups

put down others
to try and raise
our own self
esteem
