Short Description of your Research or Creative Project (700 characters or less)
People use verbal communication with other group members as unique social identity markers. As a result, when individuals recognize the informal language (slang) of their fellow group members, they should feel confident and included in their group.
The current work focuses on the use of group specific slang, which is the identity-specific information derived from group membership, as a marker of social identity. Specifically, confidence in one’s ability to recognize ingroup specific slang should mediate the relationship between knowledge of the ingroup’s slang and feelings of inclusion in the group and similarity to ingroup peers.
