Answer to Question 1

Intragroup comparison is a type of personal identity self-description that involves comparisons with other individuals who share our group membership. For example, a person may describe him or herself as politically progressive when comparing him or herself to a politically conservative family member. However, that same person may not self-describe as progressive when comparing him or herself to a family member who is a socialist. Intergroup comparison is a description of the self at the social identity level; that is, this type of comparison involves contrasts between groups. For example, a man may have certain self-perceptions when comparing himself to a woman but not to another man.

Answer to Question 2

However, we can certainly generateafter the factwhat might seem to be logical theories of why we acted as we did. Because we often genuinely don't know why we feel a particular way, generating reasons (which might be inaccurate) could cause us to arrive at false conclusions.
