通过对新加坡和马来西亚的马来族、华裔和印度裔大学人口的调查,对历史的社会表征进行了调查。对历史和历史领袖的描述往往是霸权的或共识的,表现出低水平的种族和国籍冲突,甚至涉及到这两个国家的分离。群体内偏爱和个体发生倾向轻微,但在某些测量上具有统计学意义。国家认同与民族认同呈正相关,马来西亚的民族认同强于国家认同,马来西亚马来人的民族认同最强。马来西亚华人的民族认同感最强,其次是新加坡华人。民族认同的回归分析结果表明,马来西亚的种族比新加坡更敏感。研究结果通过社会表征理论和社会认同理论提供的框架进行解释。本文认为,历史的霸权表征与国家认同和民族认同之间的正相关关系有关。
Social representations of history were investigated using surveys among university populations of ethnic Malays, Chinese, and Indians in Singapore and Malaysia. Representations of history and historical leaders tended to be hegemonic or consensual, showing low levels of conflict across ethnicity and nationality, even regarding the separation of these two nations. Tendencies towards in-group favoritism and ontogeny were slight, but statistically significant on some measures. National and ethnic identity were positively correlated, with ethnic identity stronger than national identity in Malaysia, and strongest among Malays in Malaysia. National identity was strongest among Chinese in Malaysia, followed by Chinese in Singapore. Results of regression analyses on national identity suggest that ethnicity is more sensitive in Malaysia than in Singapore. Results are interpreted through the frameworks provided by social representations theory and social identity theory. It is argued that hegemonic representations of history are associated with positive correlations between national and ethnic identity.
