社会认同理论认为，个体的自我概念来自于他们对自己在一个（或多个）群体中的成员身份的认识，他们把价值和情感意义放在这个群体的成员身份上，从而产生知觉和态度上的偏见。个人倾向于他们所属的内群体，而不是相关的外群体。本研究采用党派社会认同量表，通过社会认同理论的视角重新解释党派关系的感知特征。为了解释党派倾向者的异常行为和身份，政治独立人士的社会认同也被检查。社会认同理论为理解人们对美国两大政党普遍存在的两极认知提供了一个可行的替代框架。此外，独立的社会认同可能在一定程度上解释党派倾向者的认同。
Social identity theory holds that individuals derive their self-concept from knowledge of their membership in a group (or groups) and that they place value and emotional significance on that group membership, with resulting perceptual and attitudinal biases. Individuals favor the in-group to which they belong which they define against a relevant out-group. In this study, a partisan social identity scale was used to reinterpret perceptual features of partisanship through the lens of social identity theory. The social identity of political independents was also examined in an effort to explain the anomalous behavior and identity of partisan leaners. Social identity theory provided a viable alternative framework for understanding the common bipolarity of perceptions regarding the two major U.S. political parties. In addition, an independent social identification may, in part, explain the identity of partisan leaners.
