Answer:
The answer is Social Identity Theory.
Explanation:
Social Identity Theory is a psychological theory that aims to understand identity formation on the basis of the group or groups a person identifies himself as being a part of.
This theory has been used to understand and explain racial identity and social problems such as racism, nationalism and xenophobia. According to this theory, a social group will accept the values and views of the majority culture, if its members see that there is no possibillity of changing that reality or the power relationship between the dominant group and itself. Members of their group will also accept the views, as negative they may be, that the majority group has of them.
This theory has been critized for giving little room for the analysis of agency that minority groups may have in society, it portays minority groups as dependent and passive.
