Abstract

Research comparing how people engage in collective action in different nations to promote justice for disadvantaged groups is scarce. We investigated the effects of national identification (glorification/attachment) and religious identification across two nations (Australia, N = 358 and Malaysia, N = 300) on collective action to support Rohingya refugees of the 2017 refugee crisis. Specifically, we tested whether the relationship between national identification and collective action would be moderated by religious identification, and whether the latter would be moderated by nation. As glorification is associated with prejudice against other groups within the nation, we predicted and found support for the hypothesis that glorification of Australian identity would be a negative predictor of collective action, regardless of religion. In contrast, we hypothesized that in the Malaysian context, glorification and collective support would be shaped by religious (Islamic) identity which represented a social category shared by Malays and Rohingya refugees. Results showed that only when Malays identified with Islam, the relationship between glorification and collective support was positive. Unexpectedly, attachment and identification with Christianity or no‐religion inhibited collective support in the Australian context. The findings challenge commonly held views about glorification and attachment and enhance insight in cross‐national solidarity in a world of increasing global interdependence.
宗教认同对国家认同和参与支持罗兴亚难民集体行动的影响:澳大利亚与马来西亚的比较
比较不同国家的人们如何参与集体行动以促进弱势群体的正义的研究很少。我们调查了两个国家(澳大利亚,358 人;马来西亚,300 人)的国家认同(美化/依恋)和宗教认同对 2017 年难民危机中支持罗兴亚难民的集体行动的影响。具体而言,我们检验了国家认同与集体行动之间的关系是否会受到宗教认同的调节,以及后者是否会受到国家的调节。由于美化与对国内其他群体的偏见有关,我们预测澳大利亚身份的美化将成为集体行动的负面预测因素,无论其宗教信仰如何,这一假设得到了支持。与此相反,我们假设在马来西亚的背景下,美化和集体支持将受宗教(伊斯兰教)身份的影响,而宗教(伊斯兰教)身份是马来人和罗兴亚难民共有的社会类别。结果表明,只有当马来人认同伊斯兰教时,美化和集体支持之间的关系才是正向的。出乎意料的是,在澳大利亚背景下,对基督教或无宗教的依恋和认同会抑制集体支持。研究结果挑战了人们对美化和依恋的普遍看法,并在全球日益相互依存的世界中,提高了对跨国团结的洞察力。
