英国广播公司（BBC）监狱研究的参与者被随机分配到高地位（警卫）和低地位（囚犯）组。结构性干预增加了囚犯的集体认同感，并使他们更愿意挑战看守的权力。心理、生理、行为和观察数据支持这一假设，即基于身份的过程也影响了参与者的压力体验。随着服刑人员共同认同感的增强，他们为彼此提供了更多的社会支持，有效地抵御了情境压力源的不利影响。随着警卫的共同身份感下降，他们相互提供的支持减少，并屈服于压力。研究结果支持一个综合的社会身份模型的压力，解决组内和组间动态的压力过程。
Participants in the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) prison study were randomly assigned to high-status (guard) and low-status (prisoner) groups. Structural interventions increased the prisoners' sense of shared group identity and their willingness to challenge the power of the guards. Psychometric, physiological, behavioral, and observational data support the hypothesis that identity-based processes also affected participants' experience of stress. As prisoners' sense of shared identity increased, they provided each other with more social support and effectively resisted the adverse effects of situational stressors. As guards' sense of shared identity declined, they provided each other with less support and succumbed to stressors. Findings support an integrated social identity model of stress that addresses intragroup and intergroup dynamics of the stress process.
