Outline of Final Research Achievements

Group identification is well known to promote group-oriented attitudes. As national identity is a kind of group identity, it is considered to promote negative attitudes toward the economic divide and support for an indiscriminate welfare policy for all people in society. Here, we conducted a survey to investigate the association between national identity and welfare orientation. The results showed that a strong national identity promotes an orientation focused on autonomy, but not equality. These findings suggest that as opposed to criticisms of the economic divide, self-identification seems to be the most important factor in helping people justify their economic situation.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

日本人としてのアイデンティティが強い人は同胞である経済的に困窮している日本人に対して共感を抱きやすいようにも思われるが、本研究の結果からは、学歴が高い、収入が高いといった有利な状況にある人々の場合、日本人としてのアイデンティが強いほど、自助努力を重視しやすくなることが示唆された。研究成果は以下の論文にまとめられている。Imazai, K. (2020). National identity's influence to attitude toward welfare. Tohoku Psyshologica Folia, 79,1-11.
