自己人认同:基于西方内群体认同概念的研究

Zijiren Identification: A Comparison with Ingroup Identification

对于"自己人"的认同以及由此导致的"内/外"主观区分决定了华人在社会交往过程中秉持的伦理规范和互动法则。在英文表达中,与自己人最为接近的概念是内群体。长期以来,西方学者在社会认同理论的基础上,进一步围绕内群体认同进进行了广泛而深入的研究。但鉴于社会文化背景的差异,相应的研究成果仍不足以为华人社会的自己人认同现象提供准确的解释与理论支撑。本研究基于内群体认同理论,进一步归纳总结出了自己人认同概念的内涵、结构,及其产生、作用的机理,并对未来的理论研究方向做出了简单的判断与展望。

It is zijiren identification and subsequent recognition of ＂insider/outsider＂ distinction that determines the ethical rules and principles of social interaction for Chinese. As an English expression, ingroup is the closest concept parallel to zijiren. Since the development of Social Identity Theory, there has been a tremendous growth of interest in research and theory in the arena of ingroup identification, which followed by substantive groundbreaking achievements. However, due to the differences in social culture, the corresponding findings yet are not as applicable and suitable in China as they are in the west. The explanatory power of ingroup uates, and cannot serve an identification theory attenexact explanation for cases relevant to zijiren. On the basis of identity theories, this study intends to generalize a framework for zijiren identification by virtue of comparing these two concepts. This comparison involves four aspects, such as definition, structure, antecedent causal factors and consequences. At the end of this paper, there is a brief discuss on possible future work topic. regard to this topic.
