Abstract
Certain social psychologists consider that the question of social identity “is nothing but that of modes of organization for a given individual of his representations of himself and of the group to which he belongs” (Zavalloni 1973, p. 245). For others (see, for example, Sarbin and Allen 1968), it is what the individual does from his position in the social structure that defines his or her identity, not what he or she thinks regarding this identity when comparing him- or herself with his or her group.
