压力的社会认同/自我分类模型表明，社会认同可以在保护群体成员免受压力的不良反应方面发挥作用，因为它为群体成员提供了接受和受益于社会支持的基础。为了检验这一模型，研究人员进行了两项研究，研究对象是暴露在极端压力下的人群：心脏手术后康复的患者（研究1）、拆弹人员和酒吧工作人员（研究2）。与预测一致，在这两项研究中，社会认同与社会支持和生活/工作满意度之间存在强烈的正相关关系，社会认同与压力之间存在强烈的负相关关系。在这两项研究中，路径分析还表明，社会支持是（a）社会认同和压力之间的关系和（B）社会认同和生活/工作满意度之间的重要中介。此外，研究2显示，小组成员在感知不同类型的工作压力方面起着重要作用。压力和社会支持的概念化的影响进行了讨论。
The social identity/self-categorization model of stress suggests that social identity can play a role in protecting group members from adverse reactions to strain because it provides a basis for group members to receive and benefit from social support. To examine this model, two studies were conducted with groups exposed to extreme levels of strain: patients recovering from heart surgery (Study 1), bomb disposal officers and bar staff (Study 2). Consistent with predictions, in both studies there was a strong positive correlation between social identification and both social support and life/job satisfaction and a strong negative correlation between social identification and stress. In both studies path analysis also indicated that social support was a significant mediator of the relationship between (a) social identification and stress and (b) social identification and life/job satisfaction. In addition, Study 2 revealed that group membership plays a significant role in perceptions of how stressful different types of work are. Implications for the conceptualization of stress and social support are discussed.
