并不是每一种情况都提供了阐述群体问题的适当环境,我预测,具有强烈认同感的成员将对表达群体内批评的群体间背景特别敏感。在研究1中,强认同但不是弱认同的成员在与外部群体(与内部群体)交流时减少了对内部群体的批评,这种影响是通过对群体声誉的担忧来调节的。在研究2中,提高群体间竞争的显着性抑制了群体成员之间的批评,尽管他们是在与群体内的听众交流,但在认同的团结部分中,他们的批评水平高(但不低)。这些发现表明,即使在批评他们的团队时,强烈认同的成员也符合集体利益:他们更愿意向内部人士阐述问题,而不是当外部团队成员要求他们这样做时,或者当他们被提醒时,团队间的竞争动态。
Not every situation affords the appropriate setting to articulate group problems, and I predicted that strongly identified members would be particularly sensitive to the intergroup context in which ingroup criticism is expressed. In Study 1, strongly but not weakly identified members reduced criticism of their ingroup when communicating with an outgroup (vs. ingroup) audience, and this effect was mediated by concerns for the reputation of the group. In Study 2, heightening the salience of intergroup competition suppressed criticism among group members high (but not low) in the solidarity component of identification, even though they were communicating with an ingroup audience. These findings show that even when criticizing their group, strongly identified members are attuned to the collective interest: they are more willing to articulate problems to an insider than when asked to do so by an outgroup member or when reminded of a competitive intergroup dynamic.
