Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tajfel and Turner proposed the social identity theory, which suggests that individuals have both a personal and a social identity. In response to threats, both identities react to restore self-esteem, but the social identity may also lead individuals to engage in prejudice and discrimination. Thus, option B is the most accurate description of Tajfel and Turner's theory. Option A is incorrect because it only refers to the personal identity, while option C is partially correct but incomplete as it only mentions the social identity's role in avoiding prejudice and discrimination. Option D is incorrect as it disregards the theory altogether.
