A survey study of patients recovering from stroke (N = 53) examined the extent to which belonging to multiple groups prior to stroke and the maintenance of those group memberships (as measured by the Exeter Identity Transitions Scales, EXITS) predicted well-being after stroke. Results of correlation analysis showed that life satisfaction was associated both with multiple group memberships prior to stroke and with the maintenance of group memberships. Path analysis indicated that belonging to multiple groups was associated with maintained well-being because there was a greater likelihood that some of those memberships would be preserved after stroke-related life transition. Furthermore, it was found that cognitive failures compromised well-being in part because they made it hard for individuals to maintain group memberships post-stroke. These findings highlight the importance of social identity continuity in facilitating well-being following stroke and, more broadly, show the theoretical contribution that a social identity approach to mental health can make in the context of neuropsychological rehabilitation.
一项针对中风康复患者（N = 53）的调查研究，考察了中风前属于多个群体的情况以及这些群体成员身份的维持情况（通过埃克塞特身份转变量表（EXITS）衡量）对中风后幸福感的预测程度。相关分析结果表明，生活满意度既与中风前的多个群体成员身份有关，也与群体成员身份的维持有关。路径分析表明，属于多个群体与幸福感的维持有关，因为在与中风相关的生活转变后，其中一些成员身份更有可能得以保留。此外，研究发现认知失误会部分损害幸福感，因为它们使个体在中风后难以维持群体成员身份。这些发现凸显了社会身份连续性在促进中风后幸福感方面的重要性，更广泛地说，展示了社会身份心理健康方法在神经心理康复背景下所能做出的理论贡献。
