Definition

  • Research on the perception of entitativity addresses the question, “How do we come to see a collection of people as a group?” Entitativity is the degree to which groups are perceived as having the nature of an entity. Thus the perception of entitativity lies at the core of a wide variety of processes that involve groups. [Source: Encyclopedia of Group Processes & Intergroup Relations; Entitativity]
