The aim of the present study was to examine the role of out-group threats in fostering one-group perceptions directly and indirectly via post-traumatic stress symptoms in the aftermath of a natural disaster. We also tested whether these relationships differ depending on the ethnic group of belonging (majority vs. minority). Participants were 589 Italians and 122 immigrants from a region strongly affected by the earthquakes that struck Northern Italy in 2012. Results revealed that among Italians threat stemming from negative out-group behaviour was associated positively with post-traumatic stress symptoms and negatively with perceptions of being a common group with immigrant survivors. Among immigrants, threat posed by the out-group for economic resources was positively associated with post-traumatic stress symptoms and, indirectly, with higher one-group perceptions.
本研究的目的是考察群体外威胁在自然灾害后通过创伤后应激症状直接和间接促进群体认同感方面所起的作用。我们还测试了这些关系是否因所属种族群体（多数群体与少数群体）的不同而有所差异。参与者包括589名意大利人以及122名来自2012年意大利北部受地震严重影响地区的移民。结果显示，在意大利人中，源于群体外负面行为的威胁与创伤后应激症状呈正相关，与将移民幸存者视为共同群体的认知呈负相关。在移民中，群体外对经济资源构成的威胁与创伤后应激症状呈正相关，并且间接地与更高的群体认同感相关。
