Two studies (N=117, 112) were conducted with school students in Northern Ireland to investigate the neglected relationship between social identity content and intergroup relations. Study 1 tested and found support for two hypotheses. The first was that the association between in-group identification and negative behavioural intentions would be moderated by antagonistic identity content. The second was that the antagonistic identity content mediates the relationship between the experience of intergroup antagonism and negative behavioural intentions. Study 2 replicated these findings at a time of reduced intergroup violence, and supplemented them with a qualitative-quantitative analysis of participants' written responses. In addition, findings demonstrate the importance of appreciating the content and meaning of social identities when theorizing about intergroup relations and developing conflict management interventions.
在北爱尔兰对在校学生开展了两项研究（N = 117、112），以调查社会身份内容与群体间关系之间被忽视的关系。研究1对两个假设进行了测试并得到了支持。第一个假设是，内群体认同与负面行为意图之间的关联将由对抗性身份内容调节。第二个假设是，对抗性身份内容介导了群体间对抗经历与负面行为意图之间的关系。研究2在群体间暴力减少时重复了这些发现，并用对参与者书面回答的定性-定量分析对其进行了补充。此外，研究结果表明，在对群体间关系进行理论化和制定冲突管理干预措施时，认识到社会身份的内容和意义非常重要。
