“…Among the research guided by CIIM (e.g., Gaertner et al, 1994;Hornsey & Hogg, 2000), the majority has explored group level consequences (e.g., intergroup attitudes) of various contact conditions (i.e., one group, two sub-groups in one group, two groups, and separate individuals), even though the categorization of contact counterparts has more immediate impact at an interpersonal level than at an intergroup level (e.g., Crisp, Walsh, & Hewstone, 2006;Nier et al, 2001). The importance of interpersonal consequences is generally overridden by the group level outcomes (c.f., Nier et al, 2001).…”

“…Based on SCT (Hornsey & Hogg, 2000), CIIM has identified four types of categorization when identifying contact counterparts. In essence, how a contact counterpart is categorized depends on which segment of identity becomes salient.…”

“…Although a considerable amount of CIIM research has used school affiliation as a superordinate categorization in which two ethnically or racially different individuals find a common identification (Hornsey & Hogg, 2000;Nier et al, 2001), this type of categorization cannot be applied to all contexts. Categorization based on a more stable identity such as 31 identification with a cultural group or the majority-minority status groups, on the contrary, offers broader application of CIIM in various contexts.…”

“…Without an adequate degree of belongingness to the superordinate category, the positive effect expected from the assimilation and integration conditions may diminish. The majority of laboratory experimental studies guided 34 by CIIM have examined participants' identification to a superordinate category by directly asking whether they felt like they belonged to the same group as their contact counterpart (Hornsey & Hogg, 2000). Although a sense of belongingness to a social group is the fundamental human need, different degrees of desire have been observed (DeCremer & Leonardelli, 2003;Gonzalez & Brown, 2006).…”

“…Group membership salience has a destructive function drawing a sharp distinction between ingroup and outgroup memberships, increasing communication anxiety, and guiding communication behaviors Hornsey & Hogg, 2000;Voci & Hewstone, 2003; see also Tajfel & Turner, 1979 for SIT). In fact, a group of scholars have found that perceived group membership salience was linked to increased anxiety and decreased communication satisfaction and mutual understanding literature (e.g., Islam & Hewstone, 1993;Voci & Hewstone, 2003).…”

nationals' perceptions of Chinese international students' cultural adaptation strategies and the effects of the strategies on American host nationals' willingness to communicate with the Chinese students. In addition, the current study also examined the indirect effects of the adaptation strategies through American host nationals' perceptions of anxiety in communicating with and social attractiveness of the Chinese students on willingness to communicate with the Chinese students.Four scenarios describing Chinese international students' cultural adaptation strategies (i.e., assimilation, integration, separation, and marginalization) were developed based on CIIM and the acculturation framework. Prior to the main study, two pilot studies (N = 113 in pilot 1, N = 60 in pilot 2) were conducted to examine the validity of the manipulation of the four strategies along two conceptual dimensions: identification with home culture (i.e., Chinese culture) and identification with the host culture (i.e., American culture). In the main study, EuropeanAmerican participants (N = 284) were asked to report their demographic information, strength of identification with American culture, and attitudes toward Chinese people in general. Then, they were randomly assigned to one of the four experimental conditions in which they read a scenario describing a Chinese international student's cultural adaptation strategy. After reading the scenario, participants answered questions measuring their perceptions of the cultural adaptation iv strategy used by the Chinese international student described in the scenario. Then, they reported their perceptions of willingness to communicate with, social attractiveness of, and interpersonal communication anxiety with the Chinese student.Hypothesis 1 predicted that participants' perceptions of willingness to communicate with the Chinese international student would vary with the experimental conditions. Partially supporting Hypothesis 1, univariate analysis of variance results revealed that participants were more willing to communicate with the assimilated and integrated Chinese students than with the separated and marginalized students. Hypothesis 2 predicted that participants' judgments of the Chinese international student would vary depending on the experimental conditions. Partially supporting Hypothesis 2, multivariate analysis of variance results revealed that the assimilated and integrated Chinese students were judged more positively than the separated or marginalized

Optimal distinctiveness theory (ODT;Brewer, 1991Brewer, , 1993a argues that people can respond to membership of an overly inclusive group by engaging in a drive for subgroup distinctiveness. To test this, 280 subgroup members (humanities and maths-science students) rated the extent to which they perceived their superordinate group (University of Queensland) to be inclusive. After performing a task designed to activate their superordinate category membership, participants completed a questionnaire assessing intersubgroup attitudes. Consistent with ODT, ratings of superordinate inclusiveness explained a moderate amount of variance in subgroup bias (5±8 per cent), such that the more inclusive the superordinate category was seen to be, the more bias was demonstrated. The results are discussed in terms of their relevance for ODT and their implications for promoting subgroup harmony. Copyright # 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.Optimal distinctiveness theory (ODT; Brewer, 1991Brewer, , 1993a argues that there exists a dynamic tension between competing drives for distinctiveness and inclusiveness, such that in large, overly inclusive groups, individuals will be motivated to achieve greater distinctiveness. To test this theory, Brewer and Weber (1994) arbitrarily assigned subjects to the categories`overestimator' and`underestimator' in such a way that they were encouraged to feel that they were part of a minority or a majority group. They found evidence that minority ingroup members display intergroup comparisons while majority ingroup members display interpersonal comparisons. Brewer and Weber argued that subjects in the majority groups felt overly inclusive and tried to satisfy their needs for distinctiveness by increasing interpersonal distance. Brewer, Manzi and Shaw (1993) demonstrated that this eect is exaggerated when majority group members receive depersonalizing instructions.

It is now 25 years since the publication of Tajfel and Turner's (1979) seminal statement on social identity theory and 15 years since Ashforth and Mael (1989) published their classic Academy of Management Review article pointing to the potential value of using this theory to enhance researchers' understanding of organizational life. Whatever else the latter article may have achieved, it is clear that it was highly prophetic, as, over the intervening period, industrial and organizational psychologists' interest in social identity and related concepts has increased at a phenomenal rate. On top of nearly 300 citations of the Ashforth and Mael paper, this is indicated, among other developments, by the publication of several key books and journal special issues devoted to research in this area (e.g.,
