I think personality is best explained with a combination of Social Identity Theory and Self Categorization Theory
|
||
|
|
- Social Identity Theory
|
||
|
|
- Posits that significant amount of our personality is derived from our membership in various social groups
|
||
|
|
- People categorize themselves and others into groups based on nationality, gender, profession, interests, etc.
|
||
|
|
- The groups one feels they most identity with end up shaping one's behaviors
|
||
|
|
- Also leads to discrimination and out-group homogeneity
|
||
|
|
- Self Categorization Theory
|
||
|
|
- People act in ways that they perceive as typical for the members of the group they identify with
|
||
|
|
- Can lead to viewing oneself as an embodiment of the group prototype rather than a unique individual
|
||
|
|
- I believe people adopt core identities and then subconsciously use their perception of how people with those identities as a mnemonic for how they should behave
|
||
|
|
- [Gender Performativity](/garden/gender-performativity/index.md) maps cleanly onto these theories
