Social Identifications provides a comprehensive and readable account of the social identity approach to social psychology developed by Henri Tajfel, John Turner, and their colleagues in Bristol during the 1970s and 1980s. Michael Hogg and Dominic Abrams place this theory in the context of other approaches and perspectives in the psychology of intergroup relations. They look at the way that people derive their identity from social groups to which they belong, and the consequences--for their feelings, thoughts, and behavior--of psychologically belonging to a group.
