自由主义理论家和最近的建构主义者认为，共同的认同感将减少威胁感知并增加国际合作。但是什么过程导致了共同认同感的出现（或崩溃）呢？作者借鉴建构主义文献中的个人层面的身份变化实验和社会层面的思想传播理论，开发了一种基于代理的身份变化计算机模拟。分析得出四个结论：（1）主体观点的复杂性与共享身份的出现之间存在曲线关系，（2）高度不稳定的环境鼓励共享身份的出现，（3）邻里中领导者（即在人口中具有较大影响力的主体）的存在减少了共享身份，（4）复杂性、稳定性和领导力的相互作用产生了极度两极分化的社会。
Liberal theorists and, more recently, constructivists have argued that a shared sense of identity will decrease threat perception and increase international cooperation. But what processes lead to the emergence (or collapse) of a shared sense of identity? Drawing on individual-level experiments of identity change and societal-level theories of idea diffusion from the constructivist literature, the authors develop an agent-based computer simulation of identity change. Four findings emerge from the analysis: (1) there is a curvilinear relationship between the complexity of agents'views and the emergence of shared identity, (2) highly unstable environments encourage the emergence of a shared identity, (3) the presence of leaders (i.e., agents with greater influence in the population) in the neighborhood decreases shared identity, and (4) the interaction of complexity, stability, and leadership produces extremely polarized societies.
