Preferred term

common-identity groups  

Definition

  • Some group memberships are based on sharing a category membership (e.g., women), while others are based on attraction to fellow group members (e.g., groups based on friendships). Based on this distinction, in 1994 Deborah Prentice, Dale Miller, and Jenifer Lightdale identified two primary types of groups to which people may belong.
