Extending research on US ideological identity as a social identity, this study employs a social representations approach to capture identity meaning as a form of national attachment. Across two studies (n = 723), we demonstrate that two novel organizing principles of US ideological identity—national reverence (veneration of the nation in the abstract, its symbols, sacred texts, and founding fathers) and individual support (a focus on the progress of individuals and the change required to bring about equality)—significantly predicted ideological self-categorization, 2016 presidential voting, and affective political polarization over and above right-wing authoritarianism and social dominance orientation. The results suggest an integration of national and conservative identities that places US national identity in opposition to liberal identity and to progress and equality, pointing to the divisive employment of national identity in the current political environment.

国家鸿沟:美国政治认同的社会表征方法

本研究将美国意识形态身份作为一种社会身份进行扩展研究,采用社会表征方法来捕捉身份意义作为一种民族依恋形式。在两项研究 ( n  = 723) 中,我们证明了美国意识形态认同的两个新组织原则——国家崇敬(抽象地崇拜国家、其象征、神圣文本和开国元勋)和个人支持(关注个人的进步和实现平等所需的变化)——显着预测了意识形态的自我分类、2016 年总统选举以及超越右翼威权主义和社会支配倾向的情感政治两极分化。结果表明,民族身份和保守身份的融合将美国民族身份置于自由身份、进步和平等的对立面,表明在当前政治环境中民族身份的使用存在分歧。
