Özet: It is supported by the literature that social group memberships play an important role in improving physical and psychological health. Social identities gained from belonging to social groups, positively affect the psychological and physical condition of the individual by giving meaning and support. This effect increases the belief that group membership constitutes a “Social Cure”. Although social identity has negative effects such as prejudice and in-group bias in the context of us and others, the social cure approach highlights the contributions of social identity to physical and psychological well-being. This study aims to reveal the effect of social identity that stems from belonging to a group, strengthens people and group lives beyond the negative effects.
