Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Self-affirmation is a technique used to reduce the threat that individuals feel when their social identity is challenged or threatened. By affirming their values and self-worth in unrelated domains, individuals can restore their sense of competence and reduce anxiety about their social identity. Realistic conflict, ethnocentrism, and normative conformity are not effective ways to counteract social identity threat.
