项目摘要

Is our identity dictated by the heart or by the head, by sentiment or by self-interest? How does our identity relate to public attitudes and to public behaviour? How can we better understand identity and the role it plays in everyday life?This project begins from the starting point that identity matters. The recent riots over the flying of the Union flag in Belfast highlight the potency of identity triggers. The role that identity will play in the forthcoming referenda in Scotland and Catalonia is heavily debated. The question of identity is also central to the ongoing debate about UK membership of the European Union.However, identity is also complex. Identity is not easily captured in standard surveys which ask, for example, how 'Scottish', 'Portuguese', 'Bavarian' or European an individual feels. Indeed we may not always be conscious of what our identities mean to us or of how our various identities affect our behaviour. Identity has an implicit as well as an explicit dimension.This study explores the relationship between our expressed or stated identities, 'what we say', and our revealed or observed responses to identity triggers, 'what we do'. Hormonal testing and fMRI brain imaging are used to provide new insights into old questions about the nature of identity and its effects on public attitudes and behaviours. The project will develop a transformative neuropolitics approach to the study of identity.

我们的身份是由心还是由头决定的，是由情感还是由自我利益决定的？我们的身份如何与公众态度和公众行为联系起来？我们如何更好地理解身份及其在日常生活中所扮演的角色？这个项目从身份问题的起点开始。最近在贝尔法斯特发生的关于悬挂英国国旗的骚乱突出了身份触发器的效力。身份在苏格兰和加泰罗尼亚即将举行的公投中将扮演什么角色，人们对此进行了激烈的辩论。身份认同问题也是当前关于英国欧盟成员国身份的争论的核心。然而，身份认同也很复杂。在标准的调查中，身份是不容易被捕捉到的，例如，询问一个人对“苏格兰人”、“葡萄牙人”、“巴伐利亚人”或欧洲人的感觉如何。事实上，我们可能并不总是意识到我们的身份对我们意味着什么，或者我们的各种身份如何影响我们的行为。身份有内隐和外显两个维度，本研究探讨了我们表达或陈述的身份（“我们说什么”）与我们对身份触发的反应（“我们做什么”）之间的关系。激素测试和功能性磁共振成像被用来提供新的见解，老问题的性质的身份及其对公众的态度和行为的影响。该项目将开发一种变革性的神经政治学方法来研究身份。
