“…Our argument is further supported by findings in social categorization theory, which delineates how through in-group/out-group categorization ("we" and "they") general preferences are being formed and differences stressed (Turner et al, 1987;Dovidio et al, 2007). These preferences and the distinction between in-group and out-group may function as a disease avoidance mechanism that makes individuals shun unfamiliar foods which belong to an out-group, as those food products may host unfamiliar pathogens and hence could pose a potential threat to one's health ( Johnson et al, 2011;Schaller, 2011;Schaller & Neuberg, 2012;Terrizzi et al, 2013).…”

“…Domestic and foreign food products also evoke different healthiness perceptions (Gineikiene et al, 2016). Gineikiene et al (2016) proposed social categorization theory (Turner et al, 1987) as a tool to explain this healthiness bias, when domestic products are perceived to be healthier than foreign ones, suggesting that domestic products are perceived as belonging to the in-group and categorized with the self, whereas foreign products are seen as belonging to the outgroup. Therefore, people tend to identify more with domestic rather than foreign products (Gineikiene et al, 2016).…”

Consumer ethnocentrism (CET), healthiness perception and health consciousness have been extensively researched in regard to consumer food choices. Literature on domestic food choices provides evidence that CET positively affects consumer preferences toward domestic food. However, the effect of health consciousness on domestic food choices has not yet received attention. Our online study (N=227, convenience sample from Lithuanian population) closes this gap by showing that health consciousness is an important individual trait in domestic food choices beyond consumer ethnocentrism and represents the first study to analyze CET in light of food healthiness perception. All constructs were measured using established self-report scales. Empirical results obtained through structural equation modelling show that (1) health consciousness increases healthiness perception and willingness to buy domestic food. Moreover, (2) health consciousness is an important individual trait in domestic food choices beyond CET; (3) healthiness perception of domestic food has an impact on consumer purchase decisions; (4) CET has a positive impact on domestic food healthiness perception. The study provides managerial implications for domestic and foreign producers.

“…This sharedness is an essential and inseparable part of one's personal self-concept (Fredman et al, 2015;Swann & Buhrmester, 2015;Whitehouse, McQuinn, Buhrmester, & Swann, 2014). The fusion construct emerged from Social Identity Theory (Tajfel & Turner, 1979; Turner, Oakes, Alexander Haslam, & McGarty, 1994;Willer et al, 1989) which focuses primarily on the strength of ties to a collective identity, where the group and self are conceived of as being in a hydraulic relationship (for review: (Whitehouse & Lanman, 2014). A number of studies have validated of the identity fusion construct, and demonstrated that it can be reliably distinguished from group identification, despite sharing some common elements (Bortolini, Newson, Natividade, Vázquez, & Gómez, 2018).…”

Ritual, identity fusion, and the inauguration of president Trump: a pseudo-experiment of ritual modes theory

The US Presidential Inauguration is a symbolic event which arouses significant emotional responses among diverse groups, and is of considerable significance to Americans' personal and social identities. We argue that the inauguration qualifies as an Imagistic Ritual (Whitehouse, 2004). Such ritual experiences are thought to produce identity fusion: a visceral sense of oneness with the group. The 2017 Inauguration of President Trump was a unique opportunity to examine how a large-scale naturalistic imagistic ritual influences the social identities of Americans who supported and opposed President Trump. We conducted a preregistered 7-week longitudinal investigation among an online sample of Americans in order to examine how President Trump's Inauguration influenced identity fusion. One core prediction was that the affective responses to the inauguration would predict positive changes in fusion, mediated by self-reflection. We did not find support for this. However, the inauguration was associated with flashbulb-like memories, and positive emotional response at the time of the event predicted changes in fusion to both ingroup and outgroup targets. Finally, both positive and negative emotional responses inspired self-reflection, but did not mediate the relationship with fusion. We discuss the implications of our findings for models linking group psychology, fusion theory, and ritual modes. All material available at the Open Science Framework: https://bit.ly/2Qu0G37.

“…Culture-relevance is an extension of self-relevance (Hong, Ip, Chiu, Morris, & Menon, 2001;Hong, Morris, Chiu, & Benet-Martinez, 2000). Both Social Identity Theory and Social Categorization Theory (Ashforth & Mael, 1989;Tajfel & Turner, 1979;Turner, Hogg, Oakes, Reicher, & Wetherell, 1987) assert that individuals define themselves not only by individuated identity but also by collective social identity, such as group membership, ethnicity, and culture. Individuals also spontaneously tend to categorize social information into different social categories (e.g., ingroup and outgroup based on their group membership), and highlight the boundaries between social categories (Brewer, 1991;Turner & Reynolds, 2010).…”

Prior studies have found mixed results regarding whether there are cultural differences in the age-related positivity effect, defined as older adults showing a greater bias in cognitive processing for positively over negatively and neutrally valenced information relative to younger adults. This study attempted to address this controversy by examining visual attention toward culturally relevant versus irrelevant pictures that differed in valence among younger and older US Americans and Hong Kong Chinese. Preferences (attentional biases toward particular valence) and effectiveness (whether the attentional biases are associated with better mood) were also distinguished. Findings revealed that regardless of cultural relevance of the pictures, older US Americans showed more gaze preference for positive over negative pictures compared to younger adults; this age difference was not found among Hong Kong Chinese. In contrast, older Hong Kong Chinese showed better mood as a function of more gaze preference for positive over negative pictures. Younger Hong Kong Chinese, and younger and older US Americans did not show this association. The results suggest that an age-related positivity effect exists at the preference level for US Americans, but at the effectiveness level for Chinese.
