If all my professors taught like this, I would actually enjoy school. Thank you!

Bit of an eccochamber idnit?

[@MrA8888888888888888]

This is great! Easily the best non bs explanation that I could find on the net. You have a great way of clearly breaking things down and making them easy to understand. Thanks..

[@palesat123]

Thank you so much, this has genuinely helped me understand social identity theory.

[@WuSan5316]

Literally the best, clear-cut explanation of social identity theory! Kept me engaged throughout the whole video, helped so much :)

[@John_Malka-tits]

Did you notice that there was no evidence to substantiate any of the "theoretical" parts of identity. It's like they use the word hypothesis sometimes, but it's like the humanities want to be able to call their armchair assumptions "science" while being in capable of testing any imperial data

[@meganhutchinson544]

Just want to say you enabled me to pass my social exam (year 2 psychology undergrad). The lecturer I had for this - I just could not get on with his teaching style and basically knew nothing by the end of the year. This video helped unbelievably amounts and wish everything could be taught in this way - thank you so much! Great teacher

[@DaughterofShakti]

[@viiiivivii306]

Thanks for the video, very interesting theory and most importantly, I like how you provide additional information with regards to Tajfel's background.

This video was super helpful as a summary to understand SID.

[@crystallising7068]

Thank you so much, you deserve way more subs.

[@Sillilesshells]

This is excellent. very very helpful.

[@shaninava3963]

Thank you for this video!! really helpful

[@CooVirgo01]

This was so helpful, thank you! Would you be able to make a video on Social Cognitive Theory too? (Especially on how to approach a full essay answer on it)

[@ThemanticEducation]

I will add it to the list of videos I'll make in the near future. Thanks, Mythra.

[@arianasamazinganimals7656]

Thanks, that was very useful.

[@user-rs4cn4bx9m]

Thank you so much, Do you have a question? Does self-concept influence people to establish a social identity?

[@andrewkabagambe9357]

Thanks for this.I am writing my thesis mainly centering around obesity and this is one of the theories i wanted to use in my theoretical framework.I think it is much more clear.maybe you could give me some ideas if you please.

[@antoinettevictoriacapuz889]

I am also planning to use this theory in my research on the precarious work condition of freelance and tenured journalists but understanding the theory, it kind of feels like it does not fit well. You’re comment was two years ago, I hope your research had been great!

[@colinpatterson728]

Catgorisation cannot come prior to Comparison it a result of not a ground.

[@lisamartindale84]

Found this very good but really need to slow down a little bit, it was very difficult to keep up the pace with fast talking about a complex initially, topic. But! Very greatfull for the video. Thankyou

[@shayshayman3369]

May be you will need to watch it several times to take notes.

[@222felix1994]

Great video! Just one question: You interpret the numbers in the table of minute 21:00 row-wise. Doing so, it seems that Group C is an outlier. However, this does not take the characteristics level of the group into account. You could also interpret the numbers column-wise: While C judges itself quite low on favourable characteristics (-0.10), the others rate c even lower (-.52 and -.69). Similarly, C rates itself quite unfavourable (.17); however, Group A and B rate Group C even more unfavourable (.49 and .73). The same pattern is evident with the other groups and would confirm the theory. Is this interpretation viable or have I made some mistake? Thanks in advance!

[@ThemanticEducation]

I love the level of analysis you've applied here. And I think you're totally right. While Group C do agree that they're maybe not so great (-.10) they are ranking themselves much better than the other two groups so it does still confirm the theory. Thanks for making me look at these results again!

[@kadran3263]

Framing our history as a 'clash' is like saying the Nazis 'disagreed' with Jewish peoples in Germany... the illegal British invasion of native lands ensuing genocide was a little more than a series of 'clashes'. This video provided a detailed and useful insight into how people identify with a group, but please do justice to our Indigenous citizens.

[@John_Malka-tits]

Yeah this data was taken from college students and sports teams and kids in classes- The data doesn't necessarily coincide with real world social identity.

[@ahamill130]

As someone who lives in a country colonised by the British and that had suffered with a violent sectarian conflict that has resulted from that (and who is involved in peace and reconciliation work in that country) I can tell you that SIT has profound and practical explanatory power. In fact, it is the basis for helping us understand what we need to understand about one another in order to live together in a post conflict society.

[@grahamhudson5707]

Thank you for such a relaxed, easy to understand, but very informative video.

[@Jimmylad.]

Nice video

[@Maynardtkrebs]

The explanation for why people in groups may sometimes hack other people to death or shoot them is primarily the result of group coercion is not a paper preference. If the group has leadership that instigates homicide of "others" to "benefit" the group, members of the group whose self-identity revolts against the directive faces two issues: Coercion from the group (10,000 German soldiers executed by Germany for refusal to follow commands), and humiliation as being opposed to the group goals, which also puts the individual in danger. This is basic herd theory and the double bind. You are damed if you do and damned if you don't. If you are not running with the herd or the pack, you are at risk of death. Rwanda genocide. But also 1968 Indonesia massacre and those in Central America, Brazil, and America against indigenous.And then there is synergy. Truman Capote put his finger on it when he wrote "In Cold Blood". He thought that neither of the men's personalities by themselves would have resulted in the killings. But together, they fed off of each other and that created the "perfect psychological storm" that enabled the killings as a joint effort. That explains much of the sociopathic behavior we see in politics and other mass events.

thank you

Does anyone know the title of the study about the biological evidence mentioned at 22:11 please? Great video bdw!! Very helpful!

thank uuuu :))

[@isaacinvang]

Please can you explain the application of SIT in re-enforcement / formation of ethnic identity?

[@michaels4255]

How much individual variance is there in ingroup favoritism? Zero? Sounds like it from this presentation.

[@KukoghoSamson]

Even if we consider social learning and cultural differences as reasons for creating individual behavioural patterns we call biased, can we not also argue that the cultural differences are products of groups differentiation actions? What we learn and are socialized into are also products of cultures developed to make "us" different from "them".

[@angelikamarieberondo4886]

Good explanation but can I request something? Can you give an example of a movie or video clip that social identity theory is present? Thanks, just really need it to understand it more. Hope I hear from you soon :)

[@ThemanticEducation]

Take any clash of rival fans on the news (sports, politics, etc.) Even in the US at the moment with masks v non-masks.

Karate kid? Possible movie suggestion? 🤔

[@phivosschran2493]

Hi, its me

[@pbuckland123]

What about social identification?

[@ThemanticEducation]

You could add that to a description of SIT if you wanted, or it could be included under a general explanation of social categorization.

[@pauljonelouns2061]

I really enjoyed your lecture, you speak fast, I'll probably end up watching it again. My opinion on the Houlcaust is.... The Germans just couldn't afford to feed them, toward the end, they couldn't afford to feed themselves (Dutch hunger winter) and took the food of another country and starved them. It was more economical not to feed the Jews and experiment on them, getting whatever they could out of them in their starvation. And when they took and murdered them, it be nothing more than desposing of, throwing away some biological entropy. It's also my opinion, the murding covered up the cognitive dissonance of not being able to feed and care for their prisoners of war ( The Jews). Paul

you're the man, thanks bro GOOOO THE ALL BLACKS

[@francoithom0902]

saving my predicted grades

[@kadran3263]

There is evidence to suggest that ISIS gained a lot of power simply because local extent governments were not able to provide basic sustenance in the region after a long drought. Most people joined due to promises of food, not because they wished to become terrorists and have a sense of belonging.

[@bhartimann2671]

sir you written explanation was very good but during explaining that you are confused

[@robd3470]

Bias tests have been proven not to work .. infact they can contribute to making it worse .. and after that you seem to be outing yourself as a politically comprised person. This lends me to believe your lens is biased towards specific visions of society.

[@Justineweyman88]

Speaks so fast 😩

[@franklludwig]

At the end you question whether the SIT can explain immoral actions such as mass murder. I recently developed the model of the neurological spectrum which ranges from individual identity to collective identity and which is able to explain these behaviours. If you're interested, I wrote about it at franklludwig.com/neurospectrum.html
