After the 2011 Fukushima nuclear accident, intercultural friction and aversion arose between evacuees and host community residents in relocation areas. We examined whether a belief in group interdependence—the extent to which an individual believes that group function is realized through interdependence with related other groups—is consistent with positive interactions between evacuees and hosts. A door-to-door survey of 77 evacuees and 75 hosts revealed that residents with an integrated social identity interacted favorably with both ingroup and outgroup members, and that a belief in group interdependence was consistent with the integration of social identity between the evacuee and host communities. Those findings suggest that a belief in group interdependence can reduce intercultural conflict by allowing both immigrants and host residents to acquire an integrated social identity without the dilemma of internalizing different cultures into an individual's mind.

相信团体相互依存：促进福岛核事故后撤离人员与东道国之间的互动

2011年福岛核事故后，撤离人员与安置区的东道社区居民之间发生了文化间的摩​​擦和反感。我们检查了是否对群体相互依存的信念个体认为通过与相关其他群体的相互依存来实现群体功能的程度，与撤离者与主人之间的积极互动是一致的。对77名撤离者和75名东道主进行的挨家挨户调查显示，具有统一社会身份的居民与团体内成员和团体外成员都具有良好的互动关系，并且对群体相互依存的信念与撤离者与东道主之间的社会身份的整合是一致的社区。这些发现表明，对群体相互依存的信念可以通过允许移民和寄宿居民获得综合的社会身份而减少将不同文化内化到个人思想中的困境，从而减少文化间的冲突。
