This idea explains that people have multiple identities with the different groups that they are associated with. People may act differently with different groups showing these personalities. Identities can alter with family, friends and sports teams. Someone who is part of a group is classified as an in-group for them. Other groups they are not involved with are considered out-groups. For example, people who affiliate themselves with a group who drinks alcohol, usually means that they will also drink as it is the expected behavior when hanging with them. In this episode of Family Guy, Meg and her friends are at a party where everyone is drinking. Meg's typical social identity of going up to people and talking to them about things like the Big Bang Theory is not accepted at the party. Therefore, Meg changes her social identity in order to have something in common with the guys at the party. Meg goes over to the table with alcohol and chugs multiple bottles. She then flips the bottles from great distances landing them in the upright position which impresses all of the guys. This video shows the change of one social identity transitioning to the other.

Contagion is something that spreads from person to person like a disease. The theory states that a large amount of people are influenced by the contagious behavior of the group and ignores what they are responsible for. For example, if a movie is being shown at the movie theatre and the general population says it's a bad movie then most people will generally agree with the population. This theory shows that people tend to follow the popular opinion or idea instead of making one of their own. In this X Factor episode, part of the audience cheers for Jillian Jenson throughout her performance and then at the end everyone cheers for her. The contagion of clapping and cheering spread to the whole audience as most people wouldn't go against the majority. Even if some people did not like the performance, the Contagion Theory says that those people would still cheer for her to match the audience.

People believe they have ownership of their private information. Individuals share private information based off of the benefits and costs of sharing that information. People personally come up with their own set of personal privacy rules that they use to share with communication partners. Once an individual shares their private information with a communication partner, that private information is co-owned. Co-owners then make an agreement on privacy rules for telling other people. Boundary Turbulence can happen when co-owners do not follow the privacy rules. For example, Jane is dating a man her parents do not approve of so she keeps it private from her family, but shares private information about the relationship with her close friends. Jane has personal privacy rules that allow her to share this information with only people that will show positive support. Jane shares a picture of her and her man through text to friends with the mutual assumption that it will stay between them. Jane's friend posts it on social media for everyone to see including her disapproving family. This is when boundary turbulence takes place. Jane's cost of sharing private relationship information is her family's anger and disapproval. In this episode of Full House, Michelle and her friend group are co-owners of their secret club. The privacy rule within the club is to not tell anyone about their secret club. Michelle tells her dad about the club and he becomes a co-owner of Michelle's secret. Michelle and her dad negotiate a mutual rule that he is to not tell anyone that he knows about the club. When her dad accidentally reveals he knows about the club, the mutual privacy rules are broken between Michelle and her dad. There is boundary turbulence between Michelle and her friends as well as Michelle and her dad.
