This research integrates self-determination theory and the social identity approach to investigate the notion of collective (group level) self-determination, and to test how the agent of intergroup help (helping initiated by a group representative versus group members) shapes group members' motives and support for intergroup helping. Study 1 ( N = 432) demonstrates that collective self-determination predicts support for intergroup helping, group pride, and well-being, over and above individual-level self-determined motivation. Study 2 ( N = 216) confirmed that helping by group members was seen as more collectively self-determined than helping by a group representative, producing effects on pride, well-being, and support. Study 3 ( N = 124) explores a qualifier of these effects: People who identify more strongly with the leader who is providing the help also experience representative helping as more collectively self-determined, thereby promoting well-being, group pride, and support. Findings highlight the value of integrating self-determination theory with intergroup theories to consider collective aspects of self-determination.
本研究综合了自我决定理论和社会认同方法，探讨了集体（群体层面）自主性的概念，并检验了群体间帮助的发起者（由群体代表发起与群体成员发起）如何影响群体成员的动机和对群体间帮助的支持。研究 1（N=432）表明，集体自主性可以预测对群体间帮助、群体自豪感和幸福感的支持，这超越了个体层面的自我决定动机。研究 2（N=216）证实，群体成员的帮助比群体代表的帮助被视为更具集体自主性，从而对自豪感、幸福感和支持产生影响。研究 3（N=124）探讨了这些影响的一个限定因素：与提供帮助的领导者认同度更高的人也会认为代表帮助更具集体自主性，从而促进幸福感、群体自豪感和支持。研究结果强调了将自我决定理论与群体间理论相结合，以考虑自我决定的集体方面的价值。
