社会猜疑对多重身份融合的影响

The Influence of Societal Cynicism the Integration of Multiple Identities

社会猜疑是人们关于公平、信任的负面看法,不利于和谐关系建立,但在多重群体身份构成的复杂社会中,社会猜疑如何影响多重群体身份的融合尚不清楚。本研究以两个族群的273名大学生为研究对象,测量了被试的社会猜疑水平、群体身份重叠程度,以及族群认同和国家认同四个核心变量,探讨与分析社会猜疑对多重群体身份融合的影响及调节作用。结果表明,族群认同和国家认同存在显著的正相关,且社会猜疑显著负向调节族群认同与国家认同的关系,即当被试社会猜疑水平较低时,其族群认同正向预测国家认同;当社会猜疑水平较高时,二者关系不显著。此外,少数族群的社会猜疑还能显著负向预测其多重群体身份重叠程度。总之,较低的社会猜疑有利于族群认同和国家认同的和谐共生,这为解决大型社会的身份复杂性问题、促进多重群体身份融合具有启发意义。

Societal Cynicism is people’s negative views on fairness and trust,which is not conducive to the establishment of harmonious relationships.However,in a complex society composed of multiple group identities,it is not clear how Societal Cynicism affects the integration of multiple group identities.In this study,taking 273 college students from two ethnic groups,we measured the level of Societal Cynicism,the complexity of social identity,and the four core variables of ethnic identity and national identity,to explore and analyze the effect of Societal Cynicism on the fusion of multiple group identities.The results show that there is a significant positive correlation between ethnic identity and national identity,and Societal Cynicism markedly negatively moderate the relationship between ethnic identity and national identity,that is,when the subjects’level of social suspicion is low,their ethnic identity positively predicts national identity;When the level of social suspicion is high,the relationship between them is not significant.In addition,the Societal Cynicism of minority groups can significantly and negatively predict the degree of over lapping of their multiple group identities.In a word,lower Societal Cynicism is conducive to the harmonious coexistence of ethnic identity and national identity,which has enlightening significance for solving the identity complexity problem of large society and promoting the integration of multiple group identities.
