在这篇文章中，我们质疑最近的心理学方法，这些方法等同于公民身份和社会认同的构造，并且忽视了治理单位以地点而不是以人的方式表现的能力。对在英格兰和苏格兰进行的采访进行的分析探索了受访者如何援引英国作为一个“岛屿”的形象，以避免国籍、公民身份或公民社会的社会认同构建。苏格兰的受访者使用岛屿形象来区分他们对英国公民身份的政治承诺，以及与他们的主观身份相关的问题。英格兰的受访者使用岛屿形象来区分联合王国作为一个独特的政治实体，同时避免暗示公民的共同或独特的身份或性格。从英格兰搬到苏格兰的人们使用岛屿形象来处理这项微妙的任务，即谈判苏格兰公民社会中社会包容的权利，同时展示对土著居民对独特民族文化和身份的主张的承认。
In this article we question recent psychological approaches that equate the constructs of citizenship and social identity and which overlook the capacity for units of governance to be represented in terms of place rather than in terms of people. Analysis of interviews conducted in England and Scotland explores how respondents invoked images of Britain as “an island” to avoid social identity constructions of nationality, citizenship, or civil society. Respondents in Scotland used island imagery to distinguish their political commitment to British citizenship from questions relating to their subjective identity. Respondents in England used island imagery to distinguish the United Kingdom as a distinctive political entity whilst avoiding allusions to a common or distinctive identity or character on the part of the citizenry. People who had moved from England to Scotland used island imagery to manage the delicate task of negotiating rights to social inclusion in Scottish civil society whilst displaying recognition of the indigenous population’s claims to distinctive national culture and identity.
