Group Dynamics 3a Identity and Inclusion: The Need to Belong (Part 1)

Three interrelated processes determine the relationship between individuals to groups:
■ Inclusion and exclusion: the degree to which the individual is included or excluded from the group.
■ Individualism and collectivism: the emphasis on the primacy of the individual versus the group.
■ Personal identity and social identity: basing self-conceptions on personal qualities or shared, interpersonal qualities.
This presentation examines the first of these process--the need to belong and inclusion in groups.

What is your position on the traumatic extended isolation related to covid.? Our government locked us all away with no recovery plan.. I put together a plan for my township however the township supervisors have got to be the most uninformed humans in all of Pennsylvania..

Isolation in a group is not all bad; see, for example, www.spsp.org/news-center/blog/forsyth-social-isolation-covid-19

Its Mark Leary's paper in the Journal of Social and Clinical Psychology, where he talks of the inclusion-exclusion continuum: the citation is Leary, M. R. (1990). Responses to social exclusion: Social anxiety, jealousy, loneliness, depression, and low self-esteem. Journal of Social & Clinical Psychology, 9, 221-229. He has a more recent overview (that is more accessible) in the Annual Review: Leary, M. R. (2007). Motivational and emotional aspects of the self. Annual Review of Psychology, 58, 317-344.
