当代对人类社会性的研究深受社会认同方法的影响，将社会分类定位为管理社会生活的主要机制。基于个体自我中的能动性和身份（“我”与“我”）之间的区别，我们强调区分集体能动性和集体身份（“我们”与“我们”）的类似重要性。虽然集体认同是以群体成员的独特特征为基础的，但集体能动性涉及对共同主观性的采纳，这种主观性指向我们的注意力、欲望、情感、信仰或行动的某个对象。集体自我的这些不同组成部分在其心理表征、神经认知基础、出现条件、社会融合机制和功能后果方面是不同的。总的来说，我们表明，集体机构提供了一个有用的补充社会分类的方法，与人类社会生活的多个领域，包括集体行动，责任，尊严，暴力，统治，仪式和道德的独特影响。
Contemporary research on human sociality is heavily influenced by the social identity approach, positioning social categorization as the primary mechanism governing social life. Building on the distinction between agency and identity in the individual self (“I” vs. “Me”), we emphasize the analogous importance of distinguishing collective agency from collective identity (“We” vs. “Us”). While collective identity is anchored in the unique characteristics of group members, collective agency involves the adoption of a shared subjectivity that is directed toward some object of our attention, desire, emotion, belief, or action. These distinct components of the collective self are differentiated in terms of their mental representations, neurocognitive underpinnings, conditions of emergence, mechanisms of social convergence, and functional consequences. Overall, we show that collective agency provides a useful complement to the social categorization approach, with unique implications for multiple domains of human social life, including collective action, responsibility, dignity, violence, dominance, ritual, and morality.
