本研究的目的是探讨大型体育赛事是否有可能通过增加国家认同的重要性和减少种族认同的重要性，使国家团结在一起的社会凝聚力的结果。作者没有重复先前的工作，即在特定事件前后对国家认同、种族认同和社会凝聚力进行平均得分比较，而是比较了解释的方差（事件前后），以显示两种身份对社会凝聚力的总体影响。通过关注这种报告方法，随后的讨论完全取决于活动主办引起的感知变化的实际影响。该趋势分析的数据收集自南非居民，2010年FIFA世界杯之前（N=1749）和之后（N=2020）。结果表明，虽然国家认同对社会凝聚力的重要性没有增加，但种族认同的重要性却大幅下降，这表明这些大型体育赛事可能会导致个人忘记他们的种族差异。
The purpose of this study was to examine whether a mega sport event has the potential to bring the nation together by increasing the importance of national identity and decreasing the importance of ethnic identity on the outcome of social cohesion. Instead of replicating prior work that has performed mean score comparisons of national identity, ethnic identity, and social cohesion before and after a particular event, the authors compared the variance explained (pre vs. post event) to show the aggregate influence of the two identities on social cohesion. By focusing on this reporting method, the subsequent discussion rests entirely on the practical influence of the perceptual changes that resulted from event hosting. Data for this trend analysis were collected from South African residents, pre (N=1749), and post (N=2020) the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Results indicated that while the importance of national identity on social cohesion did not increase, the importance of ethnic identity did decrease strongly, indicating that these mega sports events might cause individuals to forget about their ethnic differences as a result of these events.
