认同一个群体可以带来幸福感。所涉及的机制是多种多样的：对一个群体的社会认同可以影响个人对诸如他们与他人的联系、社会支持的可用性、存在的意义以及他们身份的连续性等问题的信念。然而，这些机制似乎有一个共同的主题：与一个群体的认同鼓励人们相信自己可以科普所面临的压力（这与更好的福祉有关）。我们的研究探讨了在印度北部农村进行的一项调查（N = 792）中，认同、应对信念和幸福感之间的关系。使用结构方程模型，我们发现，作为一个印度教徒的社会认同，通过相信一个人可以科普日常压力，与三项幸福指标有积极和间接的联系。我们还发现了参与者作为印度教徒的社会认同与两种幸福感之间的残余关联，其中较高的认同与较差的幸福感相关。我们讨论了这些发现及其对理解社会认同（特别是大规模群体成员）和幸福感之间关系的影响。我们还讨论了应用社会心理学理论在城市西部发展到印度北部农村。© 2014作者。《欧洲社会心理学杂志》（European Journal of Social Psychology），出版社：John Wiley & Sons，Ltd.
Identifying with a group can contribute to a sense of well-being. The mechanisms involved are diverse: social identification with a group can impact individuals' beliefs about issues such as their connections with others, the availability of social support, the meaningfulness of existence, and the continuity of their identity. Yet, there seems to be a common theme to these mechanisms: identification with a group encourages the belief that one can cope with the stressors one faces (which is associated with better well-being). Our research investigated the relationship between identification, beliefs about coping, and well-being in a survey (N = 792) administered in rural North India. Using structural equation modelling, we found that social identification as a Hindu had positive and indirect associations with three measures of well-being through the belief that one can cope with everyday stressors. We also found residual associations between participants' social identification as a Hindu and two measures of well-being in which higher identification was associated with poorer well-being. We discuss these findings and their implication for understanding the relationship between social identification (especially with large-scale group memberships) and well-being. We also discuss the application of social psychological theory developed in the urban West to rural north India. © 2014 The Authors.
