关于社会认同和行为之间关系的理论越来越关注群体成员在特定受众面前如何强调或不强调与身份相关的属性。关于这一问题的大多数研究都是实验性的，并探讨了与身份有关的态度的表达，作为参与者关于他们对不同受众的可见性的信念的函数。我们扩展和补充这样的研究与分析组成员的帐户，他们的身份表现。具体而言，我们认为英国穆斯林妇女（n=22）的帐户戴头巾（围巾覆盖的头发），以及如何这种可见的宗教身份的宣言是牵连在他们的宗教，民族和性别身份的表现。我们的分析从三个方面扩展了社会心理学对身份表现的思考。首先，它扩展了我们对使身份可见于他人的动机的理解。第二，它揭示了一个（如穆斯林）身份的表现和其他（如性别/民族）身份的表现之间的复杂关系。第三，它表明，使身份可见的经验可以促进该身份的后续表现。这些点的社会认同研究的身份表现的影响进行了讨论。版权所有（c）2013约翰威利父子有限公司
Theories concerning the relationship between social identification and behaviour are increasingly attentive to how group members emphasise or de-emphasise identity-related attributes before particular audiences. Most research on this issue is experimental and explores the expression of identity-related attitudes as a function of participants' beliefs concerning their visibility to different audiences. We extend and complement such research with an analysis of group members' accounts of their identity performances. Specifically, we consider British Muslim women's (n=22) accounts of wearing hijab (a scarf covering the hair) and how this visible declaration of religious identity is implicated in the performance of their religious, national and gender identities. Our analysis extends social psychological thinking on identity performance in three ways. First, it extends our understandings of the motivations for making an identity visible to others. Second, it sheds light on the complex relationship between the performance of one (e.g. Muslim) identity and the performance of other (e.g. gender/national) identities. Third, it suggests the experience of making an identity visible can facilitate the subsequent performance of that identity. The implications of these points for social identity research on identity performance are discussed. Copyright (c) 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
