“…No work has examined how experienced incompatibilities (both socially and individually based) between existing identities relate to (a) mental well‐being, (b) problematic drinking behaviour, and (c) motivation to change one's drinking (see Frings & Albery, 2021). To this end, self‐reported drinker and Christian‐based identities were utilised to study how observed incompatibilities predict levels of mental health, problematic drinking behaviour, and motivational intentions to change drinking behaviours.…”

“…Social identities (the social categories with which we psychologically affiliate and see as part of our selves) have been identified as key determinants of the initiation of drinking behaviours, a move between nonproblematic and problematic drinking, a trigger to initiate treatment seeking and maintenance of recovery (Frings & Albery, 2021). The roles of identities associated with increased and decreased risk of alcohol misuse have been explored separately (Best et al, 2016; Buckingham, Frings, & Albery, 2013; DiBello, Miller, Young, Neighbors, & Lindgren, 2018; Frings & Albery, 2015; Lindgren et al, 2016), and differences in levels of identification related attitudes have been linked to factors such as quit efficacy and relapse rates (Buckingham et al, 2013; Dingle et al, 2019; Dingle, Stark, Cruwys, & Best, 2015).…”

Whilst research has demonstrated the influence of individual and social identities on drinking-related beliefs and behaviours, none evaluates how identities' incompatibilities are associated with mental health, current drinking status nor intentions, and motivations to change drinking behaviour. The current study explored how variability in incompatibilities between the social identities of being a drinker and a Christian related to mental health, alcohol use behaviour, and intentions to change drinking behaviour. A crosssectional online survey (via a recruitment platform, Prolific) recruited n = 180 US resident Christians who drank alcohol (56.4% male, 46.6% female, mean age = 37 years). Increased incompatibility between identities moderated the effect of current Christian identity on drinking change motivations-with the strongest links amongst those with the highest levels of incompatibility. A similar effect was also shown for increasing incompatibility between perceptions of the self as an individual and drinking behaviour (self/drinker incompatibility). The relationship between Christian identity on current drinking behaviour was also shown to be moderated by decreased Christian/drinker identity incompatibility but not self/drinker incompatibility.

Academic staff experience high levels of work-related stress and poor mental health. As a result, many institutions face high staff turnover. These outcomes may be driven by complex and, at times, apparently oppositional objectives academics need to meet around research and teaching. These factors may present both practical and social identity-based incompatibilities. The current study tested the role of these incompatibilities upon mental well-being and turnover. A sample of 141 UK resident academics completed scales measuring levels of social identification with being an academic, an educator and a researcher, identity based and practical incompatibility, mental health, experience of the workplace and turnover intention. No direct links were found between practical incompatibility and outcomes. However, higher identity incompatibility was related to poorer mental health. Identity incompatibility was also related to turnover intention, mediated by both mental health and workplace experience. Contrary to predictions, these effects were not moderated by identity difference or identity strength. The current findings present evidence that role-based incompatibilities have both practical and identity-based foundations and highlight important caveats to the benefits of multiple identities on well-being observed in other domains. The findings also suggest practical steps through which complex occupational roles can be best structured to improve mental health and reduce turnover.
