Abstract
In this study, group identity was distinguished into individual and group levels, based on Interactive model of social identity formation. Group identity was composed of two dimensions; membership and pride. This study examined how membership, pride, and coherence within the group affect the perception of inconsiderate behavior. Results of a Hierarchical Linear Modeling (HLM) were as follows: 1) in groups with high intragroup means on membership, members proud of their group perceived more group inconsiderateness, particularly when such behavior appeared to be counter to the group's norms; 2) in groups with high intragroup means on membership, pride did not affect perception of interpersonal inconsiderateness; 3) in groups with low intragroup means on membership, those proud about their membership perceived more interpersonal inconsiderateness.
