“…In addition, people with low socioeconomic status perceive greater pressure in close relationship [42], lower trust level [43], increase adverse childhood experience/maltreatment [44], and face more community violence and higher conflicts [45], which are not conducive to the improvement of community identity for people with low socioeconomic status. And that the social cure effect suggest that low community identity can cause individuals' ill-health outcome [25], enhance depression [26,29,30], decrease satisfaction with life [32] and well-being [30,33]. Therefore, community identity mediates the effect of socioeconomic status on sense of gain.…”

“…For instance, using longitudinal two-wave design and field-experimental design, researcher [25] found social identity positively affect perceived social support, which, in turn, positively affect collective self-efficacy, thereby reducing individuals' ill-health outcomes, such as emotional exhaustion, chronic stress, and depressive symptoms. An emerging research approach, named as the social cure effect, claimed that social identity would promote well-being and mental health, alleviate depression [26][27][28][29][30]. Moreover, the social cure effect can be found in diverse group and context, such that social identity was associated with depressive symptom among older adults [31], greater satisfaction with life among homeless people [32] and more hedonic and eudaimonic well-being among voluntary and forced refugees [33].…”

Background: Several studies have explored the positive relationship between socioeconomic status and sense of gain. However, little is known about the underlying mechanism between them. This study aimed to explore whether community identity had a mediating role between them among Chinese adults. Methods: Data were collected from a nationally representative samples of 28,300 adults from the China Family Panel Studies. Socioeconomic status was assessed using individuals' income and social status. Community identity was assessed through evaluation of the community's public facilities, surrounding environment, surrounding security, neighborhood relationship, neighborhood assistance and feelings towards the community. Sense of gain was measured by evaluation of environmental conservation, gap between the rich and the poor, employment, education, medical treatment, housing, social security, and government corruption. Pearson's correlation was used to examine the associations between major variables. Mediation analyses were performed to explore the mediating role of community identity between socioeconomic status and sense of gain. Results: Socioeconomic status was positively associated with sense of gain. Community identity played a mediating role between socioeconomic status and sense of gain. Conclusion: Community identity mediated the relationship between socioeconomic status and sense of gain. Promoting the mobility of socioeconomic status and actively intervening in community identity are conducive to improve sense of gain. political sense of gain, security sense of gain and self-realization sense of gain. Studies have reported there is positive associations between sense of gain and cognition and psychological health, such as well-being [5,6], government trust [2,7], andperception of social stability [8]. Therefore, exploring how to enhance individuals' sense of gain contributes to national stability and psychological health.Socioeconomic status is a social classification used to reflect the relative position of an individual in the social hierarchy, which is composed of objective material resources (often measured by income, education level, and occupational status), and subjectively perceived social status [9,10]. Socioeconomic status affects every aspects of an individual's life, including sense of gain. For example, Wang [11] found that the increase of socioeconomic status was often accompanied by the improvement of sense of gain. Specifically, upper-middle status or upper-status residents have higher sense of gain than lower status residents. Wang, Tan, and Fu [12] also found that socioeconomic status had a significant and positive effect on sense of gain. Tan, Wang and Zhang [13] found significant differences in sense of gain among different educational levels and monthly income. Dou, Dong and Tan [14] found that there were positive relationship between subjective and objective socioeconomic status and sense of gain. There are also studies that provide indirect evidence for the relationship between socioec...

“…This finding is especially powerful because previous research has theorised (e.g. Jetten et al, 2017) and shown (Kyprianides, Easterbrook, & Cruwys, 2019) that, for stigmatised groups, there are boundary conditions under which the "social cure" associated with multiple groups can transform into a "social curse"-whereby having multiple groups may actually be harmful for wellbeing. We were, however, able to show that the beneficial effects of multiple group memberships are not jeopardised for this population.…”

Background Prisoners often suffer from social isolation and higher levels of ill‐health and ill‐being. Research has demonstrated the positive health consequences that stem from social interaction, and especially group ties, amongst non‐offender populations. Methods This work is based on a secondary analysis of a large‐scale dataset that includes data on prisoners residing in all prison establishments in the UK (Study 1: N = 11,880; prisons = 113), and on a questionnaire booklet that was completed by prisoners residing in one prison in the UK (Study 2: N = 157). Results Study 1 showed that positive prisoner interactions are associated with greater prisoner well‐being, due to the feelings of autonomy that these interactions provide. Study 2 showed that prisoners who reported being members of multiple groups had higher well‐being, an effect mediated by the satisfaction of particular psychological needs; and an effect moderated by group contact discrepancy. Conclusions This work provides evidence that strong prisoner ties and memberships in groups are associated with greater well‐being among prisoners, and identifies psychological needs and group contact as explanatory mechanisms; which progresses the field and has important policy and practical implications.

“…However, the rejection‐(dis)identification model did not always receive empirical support (e.g., Bobowik, Martinovic, Basabe, Barsties, & Wachter, 2017; Jasinskaja‐Lahti et al, 2009). For example, inconsistencies in this literature were found regarding the effects of identification on well‐being in the context of especially stigmatized groups (e.g., those suffering depression: Cruwys & Gunaseelan, 2016; and ex‐prisoners: Kyprianides, Easterbrook, & Cruwys, 2019). Moreover, in the contexts of ethnic‐based rejection, the rejection‐(dis)identification model has received only partial support, with some results that did not confirm the theoretical predictions (Bobowik et al, 2017; Wiley, Lawrence, Figueroa, & Percontino, 2013).…”

Ethnic-based rejection, especially when prolonged over time, can result in withdrawal (e.g., resignation) and antisocial (e.g., delinquent) behaviors. Rejection (dis)identification literature suggests that identification with the minority (ethnic) group and disidentification with the majority (national) group mediate the relationship between rejection and different dimensions of well-being.
