The classification of people into groups based on their common attributes.

CONT

Social categorization also provides the basis for one's social identity, or the value and emotional significance attached to the knowledge of social group membership ...

DEF

Regroupement d'objets sociaux, c'est-à-dire des individus, qui partagent un certain nombre de caractéristiques.

CONT

Cette recherche s'appuie sur l'analyse de discours, afin de mettre en évidence des mécanismes liés à la catégorisation sociale dans une situation de compétition sportive. [...] Au contraire, en situation difficile ou incertaine, le discours reflète beaucoup plus les effets classiques de la catégorisation sociale : effet d'assimilation et dévalorisation de l'exogroupe.
