以前的研究表明，农村身份往往源于生活在农村地区的直接经验，分类群体成员身份发生在社会认同之前。然而，令人困惑的是，一些没有生活在农村地区的美国调查者表示，农村是他们身份的一部分。使用2020年的ANES数据（N = 8280）和2019年（N = 3165），以及来自YouGov的原始调查数据（N = 2615），我发现这些非农村的农村标识符在基于群体的情感和价值观方面与农村地区的农村标识符相似，而且比那些不认为自己是农村人的人（无论他们在哪里）更右倾和民粹主义。农村和非农村地区的农村标识符之间几乎没有一致的人口差异。我的结论是：（1）农村认同具有相似的政治，态度和人口趋势，无论受访者的位置，（2）非农村农村标识符要么在农村地区社会化，但搬走了，或者他们个人隶属于农村地区的价值观和规范，尽管不是绝对的一部分。本研究对城乡政治行为的研究具有启示意义，对我们更广泛地理解身份和政治具有启示意义。
Previous work suggests rural identity often stems from direct experience living in a rural area, and that categorical group membership occurs before social identification. Puzzlingly, however, some U.S. survey takers not living in a rural area indicate that being rural is part of their identity. Using ANES data from 2020 (N = 8280) and 2019 (N = 3165), as well as original survey data from YouGov (N = 2615), I find that these non-rural rural identifiers are similar to rural identifiers in rural areas in terms of group-based affect and values, and are more right-leaning and populist than people who do not identify as rural (regardless of their location). Few consistent demographic differences between rural and non-rural rural identifiers exist. I conclude that: (1) rural identification has similar political, attitudinal, and demographic tendencies regardless of respondent location, and (2) non-rural rural identifiers have either been socialized in a rural area but moved away, or they personally affiliate with values and norms of rural areas despite not categorically being part of the group. This study has implications for the study of urban–rural political behavior, and for our understanding of identity and politics more broadly.
