在这项研究中，我们介绍了社会身份映射（SIM）作为一种方法，直观地表示和评估一个人的主观网络的组成员。为了提供其实用性的证据，我们报告了三项研究（两项纵向研究）的验证数据，涉及学生，社区和临床样本，共包括400多名参与者。结果表明，SIM具有使用方便、内部一致性好、收敛效度和判别效度好等特点。每项研究还说明了SIM可以用来解决一系列新的研究问题的方式。研究1表明，多个积极的群体成员是一个特别强大的幸福预测。研究2表明，社会支持主要是在社会群体内给予和接受的，只有群体内的支持才有利于福祉。研究3表明，社会群体干预后心理健康的改善归因于群体相容性的增加。通过这种方式，研究证明了SIM有能力为社会心理理论的发展及其实际应用做出贡献。
In this research, we introduce Social Identity Mapping (SIM) as a method for visually representing and assessing a person's subjective network of group memberships. To provide evidence of its utility, we report validating data from three studies (two longitudinal), involving student, community, and clinical samples, together comprising over 400 participants. Results indicate that SIM is easy to use, internally consistent, with good convergent and discriminant validity. Each study also illustrates the ways that SIM can be used to address a range of novel research questions. Study 1 shows that multiple positive group memberships are a particularly powerful predictor of well-being. Study 2 shows that social support is primarily given and received within social groups and that only in-group support is beneficial for well-being. Study 3 shows that improved mental health following a social group intervention is attributable to an increase in group compatibility. In this way, the studies demonstrate the capacity for SIM to make a contribution both to the development of social-psychological theory and to its practical application.
