社会身份重要性对群体参照效应的影响

The Influence of Social Identification on the Group Reference Effect

本研究以汉族和少数民族大学生为研究对象,选取四个身份参照群体(国家、民族、性别、职业),探究个体内部的社会身份重要性对群体参照效应的影响。结果发现,不同民族的大学生在群体参照记忆效应上不存在差异;在个体内部,越重要的社会身份,相应产生的群体参照效应越大。这说明在个体的自我内部,不同的社会身份是按照重要性进行排序的,越重要社会身份越靠近个体自我概念的核心,而且这种重要性影响着集体自我相关信息的认知加工。

This study takes Han and minority college students as research objects and selects four identity reference groups (country, nationality, gender and occupation) to explore the influence of the importance of social identity within an individual on the group-reference effect (GRE). The results showed that there is no difference in GRE among college students of different nationalities;the more important the social identity, the larger the corresponding group reference effect. Our findings suggested that in the individual’s self, the different social identities are arranged in order of importance. The more important the social identity is, the closer it is to the core of individual self-concept, and this importance influences the cognitive processing of collective self-related information.
