Answer to Question 1

Answer to Question 2

Social identity theory proposes that people favor their own group over others in order to
maintain a positive image of their group. The theory further argues that people seek to
have a positive image of their group in order to promote positive self-esteem. When
their self-esteem is challenged, people are more likely to be prejudiced toward others, a
tendency that then restores positive self-regard.
