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

Social identity theory was developed by Tajfel and Turner in 1979. The theory was originally developed to understand the psychological basis of intergroup discrimination.

CONT

Social identity theory involves three central ideas: categorization, identification and comparison ...

OBS

The basic idea is that we think of ourselves and others in terms of not only a personal self but also social identities. For example, the minimal group paradigm revealed that when people see themselves as belonging to different groups this can produce intergroup bias.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Psychologie sociale
  • Éducation physique, entraînement des athlètes et psychologie du sport
CONT

[...] selon la théorie de l'identité sociale, les attitudes envers autrui pourraient rapidement changer selon la position comme membre d'un groupe social (identité sociale) ou comme individu unique (identité personnelle).

CONT

La théorie de l'identité sociale suggère que les identifications collectives sont multiples et se recoupent largement. L'hypothèse que l'on peut se sentir à la fois Wallon, Belge, Européen, etc., y trouve donc un fondement théorique solide.

CONT

De fait, la TIS et la TAC [théorie de l'auto-catégorisation] ont une portée universelle ; leurs postulats sont censés s'appliquer à toute situation de relations intergroupes (TIS), voire à tout phénomène groupal (TAC).

IATE (Inter-Active Terminology for Europe) is the EU [European Union] inter-institutional terminology database. IATE has been used in the EU institutions and agencies since summer 2004 for the collection, dissemination and shared management of EU-specific terminology. IATE incorporates all of the existing terminology databases of the EU's translation services into a single new, highly interactive and accessible interinstitutional database. The following legacy databases have been imported into IATE, which now contains approximately 1.4 million multilingual entries: Eurodicautom (Commission), TIS (Council), Euterpe (EP), Euroterms (Translation Centre), CDCTERM (Court of Auditors).

OBS

TIS is an acronym for the Terminological Information System of The General Secretariat of the Council of the European Union. The system was designed as a working tool for Council translators and has enabled the Terminology Service to provide a database of terms and abbreviations in the languages of the Communities. WebTIS, the terminology database of the Council of the European Union, is about to be replaced by the interinstitutional database IATE. The public version of IATE is now available for testing. It contains all former WebTIS data, plus data added since August 2004.
