Cognitive distinctiveness of social schemata (original) (raw)

Social schema is the process by which someone develops expectations about how society functions. Social categorization can be explained by the cognitive individuality of social schema since each human operates and understands inside a specific mental framework. According to Rhodes and Baron (2019), social categorization is a universal technique with roots in perceptual, intellectual, and social systems for making sense of a huge social world. These systems manifest themselves startlingly early in life and change significantly throughout infancy. The process of creating social categories involves determining which methods of grouping people are culturally significant, how these methods might be used to forecast, justify, and assess other people's behavior, and how one's own identity relates to these methods of grouping and representation.
