What is Self-Esteem Hypothesis in Social Identity Theory about?

The self-esteem hypothesis proposes that positive social identity relates directly to self-esteem in two ways: successful discrimination of out-groups elevates self-esteem, and threatened self-esteem promotes discrimination.

Empirical support for the self-esteem hypothesis has been mixed.
