The Minimalism Group

The Minimalism Group is a social psychology concept referring to how individuals can form a group or identity based on minimal shared traits or characteristics. Instead of emphasizing deep connections, it highlights how even small commonalities—like shared opinions, preferences, or minor traits—can foster a sense of belonging and group cohesion. This phenomenon demonstrates how people readily categorize others into groups with limited information, often influencing their attitudes and behaviors. It underscores the human tendency to create social bonds efficiently, even with minimal basis, shaping social dynamics and perceptions.
