Measures such as Identification with all humanity (IWAH) and global identification and citizenship (GHIC) are positivity correlated with measures of humanitarianism, cosmopolitanism and environmental concern. Research using these measures suggests that most citizens have low-global identification scores. This article sheds light on this finding by investigating how global identification relates to precarity and migration (neither of which are measured in the IWAH/GHIC). The study conducted in England, Scotland and Sweden introduces a qualitative dialogical approach to GHIC. This involves measuring migration-mobility in dialogical interviews and controlling and removing borders on world maps-using an interactive world mapping task (N = 23). Participants articulate four social representations relating to a fragile earth, enduring colonial settler/native conflict, ingroup/outgroup conflict or, in contrast, a cooperative plentiful planet where borders are unnecessary. Such social representations demonstrate the importance of planetary consciousness and relate to four lay models of social psychological precarity related to intergroup competition, global conflict, economic rationality and human-made borders. In conclusion, all participants employ lay models of social psychological precarity when discussing sovereignty, migration and belonging. We recommend psychologists investigating GHIC include measures of social psychological precarity and migration-mobility.
诸如全人类认同(IWAH)和全球认同与公民身份(GHIC)等措施与人道主义、世界主义和环境关注的衡量标准呈正相关。使用这些措施的研究表明,大多数公民的全球认同感得分较低。本文通过研究全球认同与脆弱性和移民的关系(IWAH/GHIC 均未衡量这两者),揭示了这一发现。这项在英格兰、苏格兰和瑞典进行的研究采用了一种定性对话方法来衡量 GHIC。这涉及在对话访谈中衡量移民流动性,并使用交互式世界地图任务控制和消除世界地图上的边界(N=23)。参与者在与脆弱地球、持久的殖民定居者/本地冲突、内群体/外群体冲突相关的社会代表性,或者相反,合作丰富的星球上,用合作丰富的星球来表达四个社会代表性,在这个星球上,边界是不必要的。这些社会代表性表明了行星意识的重要性,并与与群体间竞争、全球冲突、经济理性和人为边界相关的四种社会心理学脆弱性的朴素模型有关。总之,所有参与者在讨论主权、移民和归属感时都采用了社会心理学脆弱性的朴素模型。我们建议研究 GHIC 的心理学家包括社会心理学脆弱性和移民流动性的衡量标准。
