人们并不总是采取行动促进健康，相反，他们养成了不健康的习惯，并报告了关于健康的宿命论。这些模式背后的一个重要机制涉及基于身份的动机(D.Oyserman，2007)，即社会身份的内容影响对群体目标和策略的信念的过程。七项研究表明，基于身份的动机对健康的影响。少数族裔参与者将健康促进行为视为白人中产阶级，将不健康行为视为组内定义(研究一和研究二)。启动种族-族裔(和较低的社会经济地位)增加了健康宿命论，减少了获得健康知识的机会(研究3和4)。当认为不健康行为属于群体定义的少数族裔参与者被要求考虑他们与(中产阶级)白人的相似之处时，促进健康活动的感知效果就会受到损害(研究5-7)。
People do not always take action to promote health, engaging instead in unhealthy habits and reporting fatalism about health. One important mechanism underlying these patterns involves identity-based motivation (D. Oyserman, 2007), the process by which content of social identities influences beliefs about in-group goals and strategies. Seven studies show the effect of identity-based motivation on health. Racial-ethnic minority participants view health promotion behaviors as White middle class and unhealthy behaviors as in-group defining (Studies I and 2). Priming race-ethnicity (and low socioeconomic status) increases health fatalism and reduces access to health knowledge (Studies 3 and 4). Perceived efficacy of health-promoting activities is undermined when racial-ethnic minority participants who identify unhealthy behavior as in-group defining are asked to consider their similarities to (middle-class) Whites (Studies 5-7).
