The Evolution of the Social Self: Multidimensionality of Social Identity Solves the Coordination Problems of a Society

Resource added

Full description

The multidimensional, context-dependent nature of social identity is crucial for successful coordination in large-scale societies when individuals must cooperate in different contexts. The structure of social identity is tied to society’s structure; as societies grow larger and more interconnected, the landscape of identities diversifies, showing that ephemeral groups are central for cultural evolution.
