In this article, we summarize recent research on collective angst (i.e., concern for one’s group’s future vitality) and collective nostalgia (i.e., sentimental longing for the in-group’s past) and emphasize their interconnections and predictive utility. We also put forth the supposition that the source of the collective angst that group members are feeling can influence the content of collective nostalgia (i.e., what group members are longing for), which has consequences for the attitudes and actions that group members will support to protect the group’s vitality. Political rhetoric tends to capitalize on the relation between these emotions by making specific existential threats salient to elicit specific associated collective nostalgizing, followed by promises to “bring back the good old days”—days when the source of the threat was (ostensibly) absent. In sum, the content of collective nostalgia matters for understanding what action tendencies group members will support to assuage the specific (perceived) threats to their group.

未来的日子：对集团未来的渴望-对过去的渴望（以及收回方式）

在本文中，我们总结了关于集体焦虑（即，关注某人的未来生命力）和集体怀旧（即，对某组过去的情感向往）的最新研究，并强调了它们之间的相互联系和预测效用。我们还提出了这样一种假设，即集体成员所感受到的集体焦虑的根源可以影响集体怀旧的内容（即集体成员所渴望的），这对集体成员将支持的态度和行动产生影响。保护团体的活力。政治修辞倾向于通过使特定的生存威胁显着引起特定的相关集体怀旧，从而利用这些情感之间的关系，然后承诺“恢复过去的美好时光”，即（显然）没有威胁源的日子。总而言之，集体怀旧的内容对于理解小组成员为减轻对小组的特定（感知）威胁而将支持的行动倾向至关重要。
