Two Faces of Identity: The "I" and the "We."

Taylor, Donald M.; Dube, Lise

Journal of Social Issues, v42 n2 p81-98 1986

The article asks the following questions about self-identity: (1) how do people derive a unitary sense of self out of membership in many social categories; (2) do people respond differently when the social as opposed to the personal aspects of their identity are evoked; and (3) how do people respond to collective injustice? (PS)
