We looked at the relationship between self-conceptual uncertainty and group identity-uncertainty. Study 1 provides evidence that group identity-uncertainty produces self-uncertainty, even when people have the opportunity to identify with relevant groups. Study 2 shows that group-identity uncertainty motivates disidentification from a group relevant to their uncertainty. These findings highlight the complexity of the self-concept, suggesting that group-identity uncertainty produces self-uncertainty as well as disidentificaiton with sub-groups related to the uncertain identity.
