Social identity complexity (Roccas & Brewer, 2002) refers to individual differences in perception of one's multiple ingroup memberships. More specifically, social identity complexity is represented as perceived overlap in membership across pairs of ingroups, with lower overlap reflecting higher complexity. Previous research has demonstrated that social identity complexity is associated with tolerance and positive affect toward racial outgroups, and the present research explores further the nature of social identity complexity and its antecedents and correlates. Three studies are reported which examined the determinants of social identity complexity in different ways. Study 1 identified individual difference correlates of social identity complexity and demonstrated that perceived overlap predicts both explicit and implicit racial attitudes, above and beyond any effects of ideology and cognitive style. Study 2 confirmed the causal influence of the need for cognition on social identity complexity by demonstrating that manipulating need for cognitive elaboration influenced subsequent perceived overlap scores. Finally, Study 3 took advantage of a large field study with a diverse sample to assess the relationship between experience with an ethnically complex environment and social identity complexity.

Education, Work and Identity explores changing patterns of education and work, the dynamic relationship between these two institutions, and the wider social and economic contexts shaping them. It locates this in processes of social and economic change, in particular the shift towards globalization and the post-industrial economy. The book examines how these changes have reshaped individuals' educational, transitional and labour market experiences. It also explores key themes and approaches in understanding the education and labour market interplay, and the way in which education and work insti

Abstract
Global warming is accelerating, thus irreversibly changing the human environment, and most of the measures taken to halt this phenomenon seem to be the result of wishful thinking. Policies meant to combat climate change fail to bring about the desired effect. Arctic indigenous peoples are particularly vulnerable to climate change, and their cultural identity is under threat. However, owing to the actions taken by state authorities and European Union institutions, there is a chance that the Sami languages will be preserved.

Master´s thesis in English (EN501). ; This thesis examines how politics became identity and how politicized identities are shaping contemporary American politics. Identity as a political concept in the Western sphere evolved by virtue of our human thymotic desire to be recognized and dignified by other people. Identity as a political phenomenon rests on the belief of individuals and their surrounding society that there exists a true inner self in all of us that is both entitled to and worthy of recognition and dignity. The struggle to have that true inner self recognized was inaugurated by Martin Luther's reconnaissance of the inner chambers of the self and moved to the social and political sphere through the works of among others. Rousseau, Kant and Hegel. Identity politics is the collectivized and organized endeavor of groups, bound together by their social identity. It is a political strategy that aims to improve and widen the circle of groups enjoying social justice. However, identity politics' contemporary characteristics are negating its initial aims by demanding recognition and dignity based on restrictive and ascriptive traits. This thesis aims to converge Social Identity Theory, Intergroup Emotion Theory,and Moral Foundation Theory to examine how and why the politics of identity is such a salient concept in contemporary American politics. This will build a structural framework were the relevance of the politics of identity will be discussed in relation to contemporary American politics and the political rise of Donald Trump.

The struggles of the Japanese to reconcile the revolutionary changes in their lives, initiated by the Meiji Restoration, with their way of looking at their life is reflected in modern Japanese literature. Using education as a basis against which to measure the transition in cultural and social identity in Japan, the author analyses characters in Japanese literature to show this transition. (DÜI-Sen)
