Document Summary
People who: interact and influence each other, see selves as us , have interdependent relationships, share common fate. Ps saw 40 headshots of apartment owners. Iv: event: positive: oil discovery, negative: tornado. Iv: treatment: all 40 affected, only 1 affected. Dv: estimated number of nationalities, ethnic groups, languages among owners. Higher scores make people less seen as a group. When only one person is affected, they see group as heterogeneous. When everyone is affected, they seek more homogeneous. We strive to maintain positive social identity. Positive social identity depends on comparing ingroup favorably to relevant outgroups: see ingroup as positively distinct from outgroups. When social identity is unsatisfactory we either: leave group to join more positively distinct group, make own existing group more positively distinct. Transform group goals via own charisma and commitment. What is the most important aspect of transactional leadership: individualized consideration.
