A collective identity refers to individuals' sense of belonging to a group (the collective). From the perspective of the individual, the collective identity forms a part of his or her personal identity. Sometimes, the sense of belonging to a particular group will be so strong that it will trump other aspects of the person's personal identity (for example, the person may be willing to assume great risks for the group, even as great as loss of life).
Within the typical collective, agreement is valued over debate, creating a "comfortable cocoon" for groupthink.
