在第一次自然灾害产生身份融合潜力的实验测试中，我们要求新西兰基督城的居民回忆他们对2011年该市毁灭性地震的经历。与控制条件相比，回忆增加了参与者与他们的社区的融合，这是他们感受到的恐惧的函数，并且独立于他们遭受的个人伤害;融合反过来又介导了他们为社区贡献时间和金钱的意图。探索性分析还显示，将事件归因于超自然力量的参与者之间的融合效应更强。结果表明，融合是不依赖于证据的组间冲突，但也提出了新的问题的重要性，代理属性和搜索的意义在融合过程中。
In the first experimental test of the potential of natural disasters to produce identity fusion, we asked residents of Christchurch, New Zealand, to recall their experience of the city's devastating 2011 earthquake. Compared to a control condition, recall increased participants' fusion with their community as a function of the fear they felt and, independently, of the personal harm they suffered; fusion, in turn, mediated their intentions to donate time and money to the community. An exploratory analysis also revealed stronger fusion effects among participants who attributed the event to supernatural agency. The results show that fusion is not dependent on evidence of intergroup conflict, but also raise new questions about the importance of agentic attributions and search for meaning in the fusion process.
