我们主要通过社会群体的认同来认识自我。[说明：写一篇文章，讨论你同意或反对这个说法达到什么程度，并解释你选择这个观点的理由。在展开和支持你的观点时，你需要考虑这个说法可能在哪些方面成立或者不成立，并解释你所考虑的这些东西如何体现你的观点]

本题为老GRE的ISSUE113原题。这个题目很多考生一开始就理解错了，主要是没有读懂题目中“社会群体认同”的概念。实际上，可以从网络上找到很多关于“社会认同”和“自我认知”之间关系的阐述，也可以思考是否还有别的比“社会认同”更重要的方式来认知自我。

1. 有没有哪件事情让你发现了自己的某个特点或者性格？比如发觉自己很自信，或者很感情化等。具体阐述一件。
回答：
发现自己很情绪化，有一次朋友因为突然爆掉的热水壶(hot-water bottle)烫伤(scald)了脚,然后我因为很紧张向着另外一个朋友大喊大叫来着。
2. 通过网络了解什么叫“社会认同”，并给出一些表现社会认同的例子。
回答：
解释了群体之间的行为。
例如；The “black is beautiful” movement and the associated African American embrace of African hairdos (e.g. an afro), culture, traditions and music was provided by Tafjel as an example of the cognitive creativity of low status groups in the face of stable intergroup relations.
it is crucial to remember in-groups are groups you identify with, and out-groups are ones that we don't identify with, and may discriminate against.
you have categorized yourself as a student, the chances are you will adopt the identity of a student and begin to act in the ways you believe students act (and conform to the norms of the group). There will be an emotional significance to your identification with a group, and your self-esteem will become bound up with group membership.
3. 在一个社会群体中，大多数人对你的看法会影响到你的行为么？请举例说明。
回答：
会，比如说大多数人认为我现在是一个学生，于是我开始以学生的传统角色来要求自己，来增加自己的自信，同时这也与学生这个群体相联系。
再比如说我是一个女性，大多数人就会以各种各样的传统观点来衡量，这也会影响到我的行为，比如女生就应该安静柔和之类的。
4. 除了别人对你的评价和认同，认识自我的方法还有哪些？请举例说明。
回答：
自我反思，自我评价，同时还有自我的认知，比如过一段时间对自己的行为进行总结同时改进自己的行为，或者自我评价，同时还可能会做一些心理测试Psychological tests
