which of these is true about social identity groups?

The key idea: social identity groups are real, powerful parts of how people see themselves, and some are very visible while others are not.

In most textbooks and trainings, the statement that is true looks like this (or very close to this):

“Some social identity groups are obvious, while others are not.”

That’s the accurate claim about social identity groups:

• They are based on group memberships such as ethnicity, gender, nationality, religion, social class, or profession.

• Some memberships are visible (for example, apparent gender expression, race, age, sometimes disability).
• Others are invisible or less obvious (for example, sexual orientation, religion, social class background, immigration status, mental health, some disabilities).

• These identities strongly shape people’s sense of self, belonging, and self‑esteem , because people derive part of who they are from the groups they belong to.

So, if your options include something like:

• “Some are obvious while some aren’t.”

—that is the one that is true about social identity groups.
