Abstract

Several initiatives are arising to counterbalance the consequences of psychical distance, motivated by COVID-19, by reinforcing social ties. In this project, we focus on analyzing the relationships between participating in collective applause (i.e., a collective ritual), reinforcement of collective/relational ties, identity fusion, and compliance with quarantine norms. We carried out a study during the COVID-19 quarantine (N = 568) with people who were legally obliged to stay home. Our results indicate that participating in collective rituals relates to collective and relational ties with in-group members. This, in turn, is associated with the strength of identity fusion and the perception that other in-group members comply with quarantine norms. Thus, under the influence of a common fate that invariably threatens the lives of a large part of the population, participating in collective rituals positively relates to an increase in the sense of belonging and common identity. © 2021 Institute of Experimental Psychology, Centre of Social and Psychological Sciences, Slovak Academy of Sciences.

新冠疫情隔离时期的集体仪式:集体鼓掌与身份融合的关系

在2019冠状病毒病的推动下，正在采取若干举措，通过加强社会联系来抵消心理距离的后果。在这个项目中，我们重点分析了参与集体鼓掌(即集体仪式)、加强集体/关系纽带、身份融合和遵守隔离规范之间的关系。我们在COVID-19隔离期间(N = 568)对法律上有义务待在家里的人进行了一项研究。我们的研究结果表明，参与集体仪式与群体内成员的集体和关系关系有关。反过来，这又与身份融合的强度和群体内其他成员遵守隔离规范的看法有关。因此，在必然威胁到大部分人口生命的共同命运的影响下，参加集体仪式与增加归属感和共同认同感有积极关系。©2021斯洛伐克科学院社会和心理科学中心实验心理学研究所。版权所有。
