Social identity complexity: Its correlates and antecedents
Miller, Brewer and Arbuckle, Group Processes and Intergroup Relations 12(1), 2009, 79-94. Social identity complexity is perceived overlap among in-groups (Roccas and Brewer), less overlap meaning greater complexity. Three studies: the trait predicted explicit and implicit racial attitudes independent of ideology and cognitive style; a manipulation showed need for cognition causally influences perceived overlap and later scores; a large diverse field study examined how living in an ethnically complex environment relates to the trait.
