This brief report highlights a study that applied the intergroup perspective to the instructional context in order to examine the ways in which group-based categorization (i.e., attitude homophily, background homophily, and global shared social identity) related to satisfaction and affect in the educational context. The results demonstrated that all three group-based categorizers were positively related to student-teacher relational satisfaction, student communication satisfaction with their teachers, and affect for teachers; yet attitude homophily emerged as the strongest contributor to feelings of shared identity. |
