Social Identity Participation Assignment

1) Think about a group or social category you belong to, and with which you identify. Describe what the group means to you,
and list some examples that demonstrate your high level of identification.

2) Think about a group or social category you belong to, but with which you don't identify. Describe what the group means (or
doesn't mean) to you, and list some examples that demonstrate your lack of identification.

3) Think about a group or social category you belong to, but with which you actively disidentify. Describe what the group
means to you, and list some examples that demonstrate your disidentification.

4) What kinds of factors influence level of identification with a group? What kinds of factors make a category or group
membership irrelevant?
