Abstract

Previous studies have highlighted the benefits of perceived collective continuity. However, to the authors’ knowledge, none have considered the negative effects of such perceptions when they concern a negative past or take the form of a break with a positive past. The authors therefore conducted three studies to examine the influence of perceived continuity (or a break) with positive versus negative events or identities on French in-groups’ defensive behaviors (i.e., perceptions of and attitudes toward refugees and intention to engage in collective actions). They expected to observe the positive impact of a positive (rather than negative) past continuity and a negative (rather than positive) past break. The results of Experiment 1 partially confirmed this hypothesis, as individuals who identified strongly expressed a greater intention to engage in collective actions when they perceived continuity with positive past events. Similarly, participants were more opposed to the reception of refugees when they perceived continuity with a positive past French identity (Experiment 2). Finally, high-identifier participants who perceived a break with a negative past identity expressed greater opposition to the reception of refugees and saw them more as a threat (Experiment 3). The authors discuss the importance of considering the emotional valence of past group memories for the continuity literature and a better comprehension of actual in- and between-group dynamics.
当过去的群体事件和身份定义现在:集体连续性感知对法国内群体防御行为的影响
先前的研究强调了感知集体连续性的好处。然而,据作者所知,当这种看法涉及消极的过去或以与积极的过去决裂的形式出现时,没有人考虑过这种看法的负面影响。因此,作者进行了三项研究,以检验积极与消极事件或身份的感知连续性(或中断)对法国人群体防御行为(即对难民的感知和态度以及参与集体行动的意图)的影响。他们希望观察积极(而非消极)的过去连续性和消极(而非积极)的过去中断的积极影响。实验1的结果部分证实了这一假设,因为当个体感知到与积极的过去事件的连续性时,强烈认同的个体表达了参与集体行动的更大意图。同样,当参与者认为难民与过去积极的法国人身份的连续性时,他们更反对接收难民(实验2)。最后,那些认为与过去消极身份决裂的高识别度参与者对接收难民表示了更大的反对,并认为他们更像是一种威胁(实验3)。作者讨论了考虑过去群体记忆的情感效价对于连续性文学和更好地理解实际的群体内和群体间动态的重要性。
