在决定是否支持一个政治候选人、政策或事业时，人们注意到个人优先考虑表达自己的政治身份。他们甚至故意为此付出个人成本（工资较低、家庭关系紧张）。我们认为，将政治身份视为社会身份，赋予人们应该支持谁或支持什么的规范，可以帮助解释这种代价高昂的政治表达。通过人口为基础的调查实验，我们表明，个人都知道的规范附加到他们的政治身份，会故意选择规范遵守个人成本，这种昂贵的政治身份表达与规范的显着性和强度。我们的研究结果表明，随着政治身份的加强，群体规范的遵守将增加，即使是在成本，使政治团体之间的妥协不太可能。
When deciding whether to support a political candidate, policy or cause, individuals are observed to prioritize the expression of their political identities. They even knowingly incur personal costs (a lower wage, strained family relations) to do so. We argue that viewing political identities as social identities that impart norms on who or what one ought to support can help explain such costly political expression. Through population-based survey experiments, we show that individuals are aware of the norms attached to their political identities; will knowingly choose norm-compliance at personal cost; and that this costly political identity expression varies with norm salience and strength. Our results imply that as political identities strengthen, group norm compliance will increase, even at a cost, rendering compromise between political groups less likely.
