Primes

• Identification
  • The intervention this licenses is structural — organizers construct a superordinate identity and cross-cutting categories to widen the identification boundary, pulling in people whose existing self-concepts did not initially include the movement.

    This sourceShows that constructing a superordinate identity and using cross-cutting categories widens the in-group boundary — the structural intervention for broadening identification.

• In-Group / Out-Group
  • The same structural lever, boundary salience, runs in both directions, and recognizing it lets a reasoner anticipate both the de-biasing and the weaponizing uses of the partition from a single principle.

    This sourceDevelops the Common In-Group Identity Model and dual-identity extension: superordinate categorization reduces bias, but pairing it with preserved subordinate identification reduces both bias and distinctiveness-threat backlash.

• Social Identity Theory
  • Dual-identity models (e.g., Gaertner and Dovidio's (2000) Common In-Group Identity Model, Hornsey & Hogg's subgroup-model) offer a structural alternative to superordinate-identity suppression or subordinate-identity suppression: maintain both identities but structure them hierarchically and reduce threat between them.

    This sourceDevelops the Common In-Group Identity Model and dual-identity extension: superordinate categorization reduces bias, but pairing it with preserved subordinate identification reduces both bias and distinctiveness-threat backlash.
