Subject field(s)
  • Social Psychology
  • Physical Education, Coaching and Sport Psychology
CONT

Self-categorization is a cognitive process through which a collection of individuals, including the self, become perceived as a single unit. This occurs primarily through contrasts at the group level. For example, a comparison between countries bidding for the Olympic Games makes self-categorization (and self-definition) in terms of one’s nationality more likely than self-categorization in terms of, say, gender.

CONT

In order for individuals to know how to feel about others, they must first define themselves. They do this through a process of self-categorization(Turner, 1987) in which they classify themselves and others into social categories using characteristics such as organizational membership, age, race, status or religion. These categories permit [individuals to define themselves] in terms of a social identity(Tajfel and Turner, 1986; Ashforth and Mael, 1989).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Psychologie sociale

La définition d'une identité sociale suit une double voie, l'auto-catégorisation et la comparaison sociale [...] Le mécanisme d'auto-catégorisation est celui par lequel l'individu définit lui-même les groupes auxquels il appartient ainsi que leurs attributs [...] Pour se répertorier, cet individu va passer en revue les différents groupes sociaux avec lesquels il interagit.

These estimates receive quantitative support from a study done at the University of B. C., based upon a longitudinal analysis of Registered Nurses Association of B.

This figure represents the probability that a person holding PRACTICING REGISTRATION STATUS at the start of the year will relinquish that status before year's end. Combining this movement with that from NON-REGISTRATION(albeit previously registered) or INACTIVE STATUS to ACTIVE REGISTRATION provides a net shift of approximately 5 percent per annum.
