Summary:This paper examines how group identification influences individuals’ judgments of the in-group’s status. Across four studies, using multiple manipulations of identification and measurements of group status, we demonstrate that increased identification with one’s group positively influences judgments of the in-group’s status. Moreover, we find confirmatory support for our prediction that this relationship is mediated by collective self-esteem. Implications of this research for social identity theory and both intragroup and intergroup status perceptions are discussed.
