Abstract

Identity fusion reflects a visceral feeling of oneness with a group that predicts extreme pro-group orientations. While the theory has been tested extensively, several questions have not been conclusively answered. Here, we present the first meta-analysis of the associations between identity fusion and pro-group orientations (k = 57, N = 36,880, 106 effects). Identity fusion had a strong positive association with extreme pro-group orientations, which was significantly stronger than between social identification and these outcomes. The observed relationships were relatively robust across various countries and, interestingly, the effects were strongest for fusion with an outgroup. The verbal scale assessing identity fusion was the most predictive, and extreme forms of collective action were most strongly correlated with fusion, followed by sacrifice- and die orientations and outgroup hostility. In sum, the present meta-analysis provides evidence for identity fusion being robustly associated with extreme pro-group outcomes across contexts and settings.

身份融合如何预测极端亲群体倾向:一个元分析

身份融合反映了与一个群体内在的同一性，预示着极端的亲群体倾向。虽然这一理论已经得到了广泛的检验，但仍有几个问题没有得到最终的回答。本文首次对认同融合和亲群体倾向之间的关系进行了meta分析(k = 57, N = 36,880, 106个效应)。认同融合与极端亲群体倾向之间存在显著正相关，显著强于社会认同与极端亲群体倾向之间的正相关。观察到的这种关系在不同的国家都相对牢固，有趣的是，与外群体融合的影响最大。评估身份融合的语言量表是最具预测性的，极端形式的集体行动与融合的相关性最强，其次是牺牲和死亡取向以及群体外敌意。总之，本荟萃分析提供了证据，证明身份融合与极端的亲群体结果在不同的背景和环境中密切相关。

期刊介绍： The "European Review of Social Psychology (ERSP)" is a distinguished international journal that operates under the patronage of the European Association of Social Psychology. It serves as a platform for comprehensive, theory-driven reviews that cover the broad spectrum of social psychology. The journal is open to submissions from authors worldwide and is guided by a prestigious international editorial board. ERSP is particularly interested in publishing reviews that reflect the author's own research program, as demonstrated by their publications in leading peer-reviewed journals. The journal values theoretical contributions that are grounded in a substantial empirical foundation, situating the research within the broader context of existing literature and offering a synthesis that goes beyond the individual articles. In addition to these in-depth reviews, ERSP also welcomes conventional reviews and meta-analyses, further enriching the journal's offerings. By focusing on high-quality, evidence-based research, ERSP contributes significantly to the advancement of knowledge in social psychology and fosters a deeper understanding of human social behavior across cultures and societies.
