This project examines collective memory for a focal group of people in light of identity theory. Identity theory states that individuals enact their identities in everyday interaction, based on feedback. In this study, hypotheses will be tested concerning how collective memory of a high impact epidemic has affected the relationship between a group's behavior and identity, resulting in differences between cohorts. Data will be collected through archival research and interviews. Findings will improve understanding of collective memory and generational differences, with broader relevance to health interventions and policies.Methods for this project consists of archival research and interviews. The archival research will draw from collections of relevant documents from the 1970s to the present in order to identify which historical narratives persist over time and become collective memories. Interviews with people from different generations will examine how themes emerging from the archival work appear in respondents' narratives regarding how they define their identity and experience their behavior. Results will identify potential strategies to manage the long-term social impact of traumatic events, particularly health-related events.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

这个项目在身份理论的基础上研究了一个焦点群体的集体记忆。身份理论指出，个人在日常互动中根据反馈制定自己的身份。在本研究中，将测试关于高影响流行病的集体记忆如何影响群体行为和身份之间的关系，从而导致队列之间的差异的假设。数据将通过档案研究和访谈收集。研究结果将增进对集体记忆和代际差异的理解，与卫生干预措施和政策具有更广泛的相关性。该项目的研究方法包括档案研究和访谈。档案研究将从20世纪70年代至今的相关文件中收集资料，以确定哪些历史叙述随着时间的推移而持续并成为集体记忆。与不同世代的人的访谈将研究档案作品中出现的主题如何出现在受访者关于他们如何定义自己的身份和体验自己的行为的叙述中。结果将确定管理创伤事件，特别是与健康有关的事件的长期社会影响的潜在战略。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
