本研究调查了226名印度人、巴基斯坦人、加勒比黑人和非洲黑人的英国国民身份认同。黑人参与者报告更强的种族认同和更频繁的种族歧视;巴基斯坦人报告更高的宗教信仰和更频繁的宗教歧视，但更强的英国民族认同。对英国民族认同的意义和可及性的不确定性和感知到的种族歧视与英国民族认同的下降有关。英国国民身份认同反过来与生活满意度呈正相关。对英国人的意义和重要性的不确定性挑战了其对整体身份维护的价值，使其不太容易为少数民族所接受。
This study examines British national identification in survey data from 226 Indians, Pakistanis, Black Caribbeans and Black Africans. Black participants reported stronger ethnic identification and more frequent ethnic discrimination; and Pakistanis reported higher religiosity and more frequent religious discrimination, but stronger British national identification. Uncertainty about the meaning and accessibility of British national identity and perceived ethnic discrimination were associated with decreased British national identification. British national identification was in turn positively associated with life satisfaction. Uncertainty about the meaning and significance of Britishness challenges its value to overall identity maintenance, making it less accessible to ethnic minorities.
