This paper describes the results of a rapid evidence assessment that aimed to identify the characteristics and efficacy of interventions that aimed to or reportedly changed personal or social identity. Following a rapid but systematic search of the published, peer-reviewed research on identity change, 400 studies or reviews were screened for eligibility for inclusion in the review, and 22 were retained. The interventions and samples were diverse and studies came from a broad geographic area. The quality of the research varied, but the majority was assessed as carrying a low weight of evidence. Just under two-thirds of the studies were qualitative, and most explored, retrospectively, participants' perceptions of, or applied theoretical frameworks to, identity change sometime after an intervention. Quantitative studies provided little evidence of the effectiveness of interventions in changing identity. Qualitative studies most commonly applied and then supported the Social Identity Theory of Identity Change to explain perceived changes in identity. Implications for research are discussed.

什么工作可以改变身份？干预措施的快速证据评估

本文描述了一项快速证据评估的结果，该评估旨在确定旨在或据报道改变个人或社会身份的干预措施的特征和功效。在对已发表的、经过同行评审的关于身份变化的研究进行快速但系统的搜索后，筛选了 400 项研究或评论以符合纳入评论的资格，并保留了 22 项。干预措施和样本多种多样，研究来自广泛的地理区域。研究的质量各不相同，但大多数被评估为证据权重较低。不到三分之二的研究是定性的，并且大多数是回顾性地探索参与者对干预后某个时候身份变化的看法或应用理论框架。定量研究几乎没有提供干预措施在改变身份方面的有效性的证据。定性研究最常应用并支持身份变化的社会身份理论来解释身份的感知变化。讨论了对研究的影响。
