Abstract

Three hypotheses are offered, concerning how readily a person is identified as an objective member of a group (the similarity hypothesis), the general salience of the group in society as a whole and temporarily in local politics (the salience hypothesis), and the proportion of fellow group members in the local environment (the social density hypothesis). The results provide tentative support for all three hypotheses.
