👉 The endorsed fluid is a theoretical construct in social psychology that represents the extent to which an individual's attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors are aligned with their social identity or group membership. It is essentially the degree to which a person's personal views are influenced by, and harmonize with, their group affiliations. This concept is particularly useful in understanding phenomena like in-group bias and intergroup relations, as it highlights the role of social identity in shaping attitudes and behaviors. The endorsed fluid is endorsed by both self-attitudes (how one feels about themselves) and behavior (how they act), making it a comprehensive measure of the psychological integration between personal beliefs and group identity.
