Rafael will most likely exaggerate the similarities among out-group members.

Social identity theory is portrayed as a hypothesis that predicts certain inter group practices based on perceived group status contrasts, the perceived authenticity and solidness of those status contrasts, and the perceived capacity to move from one gathering then onto the next.
