Answer 1

To this point, we have seen, among other things, that human beings have complex and well-developed self-concepts and that they generally attempt to view themselves positively. These more cognitive and affective aspects of ourselves do not, of course, occur in a vacuum. They are heavily influenced by the social forces that surround us. We have alluded to some of these forces already; for example, in our review of self-verification theory, we saw how feedback from others can affect our self-concept and esteem. We also looked at ways that our sociocultural backgrounds can affect the content of our self-concept

Answer 2

Answer:

Social identity groups are typically described by some of an individual's physical, social, and mental traits. Race/ethnicity, gender, social class/socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, (dis)abilities, and religion/religious beliefs are a few examples of social identities.

The identity that is relevant in a certain circumstance is a person's salient identity. The situation determines the person's salient identity. Various elements, such as the degree of commitment a person has to a given identity, determine which identity is relevant in a particular circumstance.
