Abstract

Previous research has shown that ingroup norms influence intentions to engage in pro-environmental behavior, most notably for individuals highly identified with a group. However, intriguingly, identification may itself lead people to exaggerate descriptive pro-environmental ingroup norms to enhance positive distinctiveness of their ingroup. We investigated this possibility in two studies together with the assumption that perceived norms would mediate the effects of identification on intentions to engage in pro-environmental behavior. The results support our assumptions and show that high identifiers perceived their ingroup be more eco-friendly, which in turn increased respondents’ intentions to behave in a pro-environmental manner. We discuss the implications of this collective self-fulfilling prophecy for social identity theorizing and the prediction of pro-environmental behavior.

集体自我实现的预言:群体认同偏向于高认同者对环境群体规范的看法

摘要

先前的研究表明,团体规范会影响从事环保行为的意图,特别是对于高度认同团体的个人。然而,有趣的是,认同本身可能导致人们夸大描述性的亲环境群体准则,以增强群体的积极独特性。我们在两项研究中调查了这种可能性,并假设感知的规范会介导身份认同对从事环保行为的意图的影响。结果支持了我们的假设,并表明高识别者认为他们的群体更加环保,这反过来又增加了受访者以环保方式行事的意愿。
