“…Until recently, no method has been available to measure the strength of identity motives independently of their satisfaction. However, Vignoles and colleagues (Vignoles, 2004; Vignoles, Chryssochoou, & blackwell 2002a; Vignoles et al , 2006) have recently developed a new approach to studying identity motives, based on their effects on individuals' subjective identity structures. This approach assumes that the identity of an individual consists of multiple identity elements (or self‐aspects: Simon, 2004), which vary in their perceived centrality or importance for self‐definition (Gurin & Markus, 1988).…”

Theories suggest that identity motives for self-esteem, meaning, distinctiveness and belonging are implicated in intergroup discrimination. Experimental studies have supported predictions, but correlational tests have been hindered by methodological problems. Using a new approach to measuring identity motives, we compared predictions of individual differences in in-group favouritism. Seventy British adults completed measures of identity motives, British identification and positive and negative trait typicality ratings of British and German nationalities. With greater identification, the strength of motives for distinctiveness and belonging increasingly predicted in-group favouritism: consistent with optimal distinctiveness theory, the belonging motive predicted positive ratings of the national in-group, whereas the distinctiveness motive predicted negative ratings of the national out-group. Results show the value of disentangling measures of motive strength from measures of motive satisfaction.

“…It was measured through a scale adapted from the Italian version ( Manzi et al ., 2006 ) of Vignoles’s (2003) Identity Questionnaire . The scale was composed of five items on a 5-point Likert-type scale (1 = false, 5 = true) measuring the refugees’ sense of belonging to Italian community in the period of emergency from COVID-19.…”

The study aims to evaluate the usefulness and effectiveness of digital communication tools implemented by an Italian NGO during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) emergency period, considering their relations with perception of health-related risk, sense of belonging to host community, psychological distress, and wellbeing of the refugees taken in charge by the association. The study was conducted through an anonymous questionnaire proposed to a group of 102 refugees. The results confirmed that by increasing the sense of belonging to the Italian community, the time refugees spent on digital communication negatively associated with their psychological distress and positively associated with their wellbeing. Refugees’ access to digital communication also increased their health-related risk perception that in turn raised their psychological distress. It specifically occurred when digital communication has been perceived as less affordable, i.e. as less clear, easy and reassuring. The results will be used to improve digital communication for health, educational, and proximity services dedicated to refugees.

“…The main unit of analysis was a single identity element, not an individual. Because of this hierarchical data structure (identity elements nested within participants), multilevel regression design was used (Vignoles, 2004;Hox, 2002). All statistics were computed using the R program.…”

Reorganization of personal identity in the context of motivational dynamics and internal dialogical activity

Identity is constantly constructed and reconstructed. It may be assumed that there are six fundamental motivational goals according to which it is organized: self-esteem, self-efficacy, continuity, distinctiveness, belonging, and meaning (Vignoles, 2011). Moreover, identity is shaped by its dialogical nature (Hermans, 2003; van Halen & Janssen, 2004). The longitudinal study was conducted to examine both the motivational and the dialogical basis of identity structure dynamics. The results showed that the more the identity element was connected with a sense of continuity and the more dialogical it was, the greater the perceived centrality of this element was after two months. Furthermore, the more the identity element satisfied the self-esteem and belonging motives, the more positive was the affect ascribed to it. In the behavioral domain of identity, participants more strongly manifested those identity aspects that were earlier rated as more dialogical and satisfying the motive of belonging. The results showed that the motivational underpinnings of identity along with its dialogical nature explain changes in identity structure.
