社会认同理论中动机假设的背景和发展进行了研究，揭示了两个一般的动机组间歧视：认知一致性的愿望，或良好的结构;和需要积极的自尊。后者（自尊假说：SEH）受到了最多的关注。SEH的理论和经验基础在很大程度上植根于使用最小群体范式的研究。然而，目前尚不清楚自尊主要应被视为歧视的原因还是结果。当考虑到真实的社会群体时，SEH似乎只提供了部分解释，各种或多或少强大的替代社会动机可能是歧视行为的基础。我们探讨了一些社会结构，个人和人际限制SEH，我们呼吁这些动机的意识和重新审视的良好结构的论文。目前的SEH仅为我们理解社会认同与群体间歧视行为之间的关系提供了部分贡献。
The background and development of motivational hypotheses in social identity theory are examined, revealing two general motives for intergroup discrimination: a desire for cognitive coherence, or good structure; and a need for positive self‐esteem. The latter (self‐esteem hypothesis: SEH) has received most attention. Both the theoretical and empirical bases of the SEH are largely rooted in research using the minimal group paradigm. However, it remains unclear whether self‐esteem is to be considered primarily as a cause or an effect of discrimination. When real social groups are considered the SEH appears to provide only a partial explanation, and a variety of more or less powerful alternative social motives may underlie discriminatory behaviour. We explore some social‐structural, individual and interpersonal limits to the SEH, and we call for an awareness of these motives and a re‐examination of the good‐structure thesis. The SEH, as it stands, provides only a partial contribution to our understanding of the relationship between social identity and discriminatory intergroup behaviour.
