Social identity complexity refers to the way in which individuals
subjectively represent the relationships among their multiple ingroup
memberships. More specifically, individuals with low social identity
complexity see their ingroups as highly overlapping and convergent,
whereas those with high complexity see their different ingroups as
distinct and cross-cutting membership groups. The present study tested
the hypothesis that perceived overlap among ingroup memberships would
be negatively related to ingroup inclusiveness and tolerance for
outgroups, such that individuals with high overlap (low complexity)
would be less tolerant and accepting of outgroups in general than
those with low overlap (high complexity). Results from a telephone
interview survey of adult residents of the state of Ohio supported
this hypothesis. Individual differences in complexity of perception
of their national, religious, occupational, political, and recreational
social identities were systematically related to their attitudes
toward ethnic outgroups and diversity.
