身份融合代表了一种新的与团体结盟的形式，这种团体会激励个人代价高昂的亲团体行为。该方法假定，融合的个人与群体有一种本能的“一体”感，其中他们的个人自我(使他们独一无二的个人特征)与社会自我(使他们与群体保持一致的个人特征)结合在一起。研究已经确定了融合特有的几种认知和情感机制(例如，代理感、坚不可摧、家庭纽带)，这些机制有助于解释为什么强烈融合的人会从事亲群体行为。例如，Fusion强烈预测支持自我牺牲行为来拯救其他群体成员的生命，以及不那么极端但个人代价高昂的行为，如向有需要的群体成员捐赠资金。在这里，我们阐述了融合方法的基本原理，强调了融合理论的关键实证证据，并讨论了重要问题和未来该主题研究的有前景的方向。
Identity fusion represents a new form of alignment with groups that motivates personally costly, pro-group behaviors. The approach posits that fused individuals experience a visceral sense of “oneness” with a group, wherein their personal self (characteristics of individuals that make them unique) joins with a social self (characteristics of individuals that align them with groups). Research has identified several cognitive and affective mechanisms (eg, sense of agency, invulnerability, familial ties) unique to fusion that help explain why strongly fused persons engage in pro-group behaviors. For example, fusion robustly predicts endorsement of self-sacrificial behaviors to save other group members’ lives as well as less extreme but nonetheless personally costly acts such as donating money to needy group members. Here, we lay out the basic tenets of the fusion approach, highlight key empirical evidence for fusion theory, and discuss important issues and promising directions for future research on the topic.
