Abstract
In this article, we introduce the concept of social identity complexity--a
new theoretical construct that refers to an individual's subjective
representation of the interrelationships among his or her multiple
group identities. Social identity complexity reflects the degree
of overlap perceived to exist between groups of which a person is
simultaneously a member When the overlap of multiple ingroups is
perceived to be high, the individual maintains a relatively simplified
identity structure whereby memberships in different groups converge
to form a single ingroup identification. When a person acknowledges,
and accepts, that memberships in multiple ingroups are not fully
convergent or overlapping, the associated identity structure is both
more inclusive and more complex. In this article, we define the concept
of social identity complexity and discuss its possible antecedents
and consequences. Results from initial studies support the prediction
that social identity complexity is affected by stress and is related
to personal value priorities and to tolerance of outgroup members.
