This group can be defined by various aspects such as economic, social, political, cultural, or religious. The concept of &#8220;We&#8221; emerged from the work of psychoanalyst Ren\u00e9 Kaes in the psychology of social identity in 1993. According to Sondes Zouaghi and Denis Darpy, the family transmits not only a genetic inheritance, but also an identity-based, symbolic, and phantasmatic inheritance that consciously and unconsciously influences individual choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the &#8220;Self&#8221; represents the internalization of our singularity, the &#8220;We&#8221; captures the family or group identity as it is understood and integrated by each member of the group. Thus, the concept of &#8220;We&#8221; is highly personal for each individual, distinct from that of other members of the same group. Social identity and individual identity impact the individual along a continuum ranging from the Self to the We.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a modern society where tribes and physical or virtual communities are proliferating, the concept of &#8220;We&#8221; takes on particular importance. These diverse groups can influence the individual without necessarily requiring a sense of belonging. According to Sondes Zouaghi and Denis Darpy, &#8220;We&#8221; and &#8220;Self&#8221; are complex concepts, combining a real vision of the group with an ideal vision corresponding to the desired qualities of that group. The concept of &#8220;We&#8221; can be applied to any small group within which an individual is emotionally invested and experiences positive feelings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","categories-glossary":[310],"class_list":["post-161505","dictionnaire-dico","type-dictionnaire-dico","status-publish","hentry","categories-glossary-consumer-behavior-marketing-psychology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/digitionary.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/dictionnaire-dico\/161505","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/digitionary.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/dictionnaire-dico"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/digitionary.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/dictionnaire-dico"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/digitionary.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=161505"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"categories-glossary","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/digitionary.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories-glossary?post=161505"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
