Social identity in adolescence

Article Abstract:

A study of 149 14-15 year old boys demonstrated the power of group association and intergroup discrimination among teenagers. Groups positively identified with others within their group and built self-esteem by assigning negative characteristics to those outside their group. What was considered positive or negative depended on the group.
