Abstract

Abstract Two studies set against the complex sociopolitical backdrop of the Greek Financial Crisis (2009-2018) examined the role played by media narratives as intragroup communication within Greek society in framing social identity uncertainty and the desired position of the country in the wider intergroup (European) context. The extent of identity-uncertainty produced by the media regarding Greek national identity, future, and relations with the EU was measured in Study 1 (N = 298) and manipulated in Study 2 (N = 293). Study 1 found that exposure to ideologically discordant media messages heightened uncertainty about national identity among right- and left-leaning Greeks. Study 2 found that the type of media chosen (systemic vs. anti-systemic) mediated Greek nationalists’ positions on Grexit, especially under heightened identity-uncertainty. Implications of the role of the media as influential ingroup sources in providing valuable social identity information, especially during a crisis, are discussed.
希腊金融危机期间的社会身份不确定性:媒体叙事的作用
摘要两项以希腊金融危机(2009-2018年)复杂的社会政治背景为背景的研究考察了媒体叙事作为希腊社会内部的群体内沟通在构建社会身份不确定性和国家在更广泛的群体间(欧洲)背景下的期望地位方面所起的作用。研究1(N=298)测量了媒体对希腊国家身份、未来以及与欧盟关系产生的身份不确定性程度,研究2(N=293)对其进行了操纵。研究1发现,暴露在意识形态不和谐的媒体信息中,加剧了右倾和左倾希腊人对国家身份的不确定性。研究2发现,所选择的媒体类型(系统性与反系统性)介导了希腊民族主义者对希腊脱欧的立场,尤其是在身份不确定性加剧的情况下。讨论了媒体作为有影响力的群体内部来源在提供有价值的社会身份信息方面的作用,特别是在危机期间。
