This document discusses the concept of "civil identity" in social psychology. It defines civil identity as a collective set of features that may be used by a national government to identify an individual, such as ethnicity, political beliefs, race, color, religion, age, gender, sexual orientation, disability status, and marital status. It provides examples of how different aspects of civil identity, such as ethnicity, gender, religion, and marital status, might describe an individual. It also discusses the concept of people being "equally yoked" or having very similar civil identities, and how this can help people of different cultures relate and bond in marriage.
