Recent approaches define collective identity as a multi-component construct. Nonetheless, there is a lack of research about the dimensionality of in-group identification in relation to European Identity. Leach and colleagues (2008) proposed a framework of in-group identification, in which they distinguish five main components integrated into two higher-order dimensions. In two studies we examined the validity of the Italian version of the In-Group Identification Scale by Leach et al., with a focus on European identity. Confirmatory factor analyses revealed that the hierarchical model of in-group identification fitted the data well (Study 1); the measure was shown to have satisfactory convergent and divergent validity. In Study 2, the relations between European identification and several possible antecedents and outcomes were examined.
近期的研究方法将集体身份定义为一种多成分的结构。尽管如此，关于与欧洲身份相关的内群体认同维度的研究却很匮乏。利奇及其同事（2008年）提出了一个内群体认同框架，他们在其中区分了五个主要成分，并将其整合为两个高阶维度。在两项研究中，我们检验了利奇等人编制的内群体认同量表意大利语版本的有效性，重点关注欧洲身份。验证性因素分析表明，内群体认同的层次模型与数据拟合良好（研究1）；该测量方法具有令人满意的聚合效度和区分效度。在研究2中，我们考察了欧洲认同与几个可能的前因和后果之间的关系。
