Abstract
Se llevaron a cabo cuatro estudios para examinar cómo la auto
identidad y la fusión grupal se relacionan con los autoconceptos, la au-
topercepción de rasgos agentes y comunales y el deseo de autocomproba-
ción grupal. En el estudio 1 (N1 = 244), se examinó la fusión de identidad
en relación con el país y el género, mientras que en los estudios 2 (N2 =
164) y 3 (N3 = 166) las relaciones de los participantes con los grupos so-
ciales importantes y elegidos por ellos analizado. El Estudio 4 (N4 = 796)
incluyó a los fanáticos del fútbol, y describieron sus relaciones con otros
fanáticos. Los resultados mostraron que la alta fusión de identidad fue des-
crita por (a) los altos resultados para autoevaluación independiente e inter-
dependiente, excepto cuando se consideró la fusión con el país (estudios 1,
2 y 4); (b) simultáneamente, alta agencia y comunión (estudios 3 y 4); y (c)
un fuerte deseo de autovaloración en los niveles colectivos y personales de
autodescripción.
Four studies were conducted to examine how self and group identity fusion is related to self- construals, self-perception of agentic and communal traits, and the desire for self- and group verification. In study 1 (N1 = 244), identity fusion in relation to country and gender was exam- ined, while in studies 2 (N2 = 164), and 3 (N3 = 166) participants’ rela- tions with social groups important to and chosen by them were analyzed. Study 4 (N4 = 796) included football fans, and they described their rela- tions with other fans. The results showed that high identity fusion was de- scribed by (a) high results for interdependent and independent self- construal, except when fusion with country was considered (studies 1, 2, and 4); (b) simultaneously high agency and communion (studies 3 and 4); and (c) a strong desire for self-verification at the collective and personal levels of self-description.
