Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sandra's acceptance to the Honors College is part of her social identity, as it is a group she belongs to that has certain characteristics and privileges. It is not a personal identity because it is not something unique to her as an individual, and it is not a formal identity because it is not an official legal or professional designation. It is also not an out-group identity because she is now a member of the group, rather than being outside of it.
