美国社会的多样性引发了人们的担忧，即当局能否在相互竞争的利益和价值观中保持社会凝聚力。正义的群体价值模型表明，当权威被认为是公平的时，它们会更有效地发挥作用（例如，仁慈、中立和尊重）。然而，只有当权威代表一个人们认同的群体时，这种关系评价才可能有效。在一个多样化的社会里，小组成员的身份可能是特别重要的.在评估上级群体权威时，主要认同于某个小组的人可能会关注工具性问题，如果这些人没有得到有利的结果，与该权威的冲突可能会升级。结果表明，只有当人们具有强的子群认同和弱的上级群体认同时，子群认同才会给当局带来问题。只要人们强烈认同上级群体，即使他们也强烈认同自己的下级群体，关系问题将主导对权威的反应。
The diversity of American society raises concerns about whether authorities can maintain social cohesion amid competing interests and values. The group-value model of justice suggests that authorities function more effectively when they are perceived as fair (e.g., benevolent, neutral, and respectful). However, such relational evaluations may be effective only if authorities represent a group with which people identify. In a diverse society, subgroup memberships may as sume special importance. People who identify predominantly with a subgroup may focus on instrumental issues when evaluating a superordinate-group authority, and conflicts with that authority may escalate if those people do not receive favorable outcomes. Results indicate that subgroup identification creates problems for authorities only when people have strong subgroup identification and weak superordinate-group identification. As long as people identify strongly with the superordinate group, even if they also identify strongly with their subgroup, relational issues will dominate reactions to authorities.
