The comprehensive analysis of social identity cannot simply focus on individuals' cognitive self-definition. Rather it should also theorize the social conditions that affect individuals' opportunities to act in terms of those self-definitions. We argue that the social distancing interventions associated with Covid-19 provide an opportunity to explore the significance of otherwise taken-for-granted social factors which routinely support and sustain individuals' identity enactments. Using qualitative data gathered with 20 members of the Scottish Muslim community (19 diary entries and 20 post-diary interviews), we explore their experiences of restricted access to community-relevant social spaces (e.g., mosques and prayer rooms). Our analysis shows that while these regulations could result in new opportunities for Muslims' religious identity enactments, they also impeded their abilities to act in terms of their religious identification. Addressing such impediments, we develop our understanding of the contextual factors that shape individuals' abilities to enact identity-defining norms and values.
对社会身份的综合分析不能仅仅聚焦于个体的认知自我定义。相反，它还应该对那些影响个体依据这些自我定义采取行动机会的社会条件进行理论化。我们认为，与新冠疫情相关的社会 distancing 干预措施提供了一个机会，来探究那些通常被视为理所当然、常规性支持和维系个体身份表现的社会因素的重要性。通过收集苏格兰穆斯林社区20名成员的定性数据（19篇日记记录和20次日记后访谈），我们探究了他们在获取与社区相关的社会空间（如清真寺和祈祷室）方面受到限制的经历。我们的分析表明，虽然这些规定可能为穆斯林的宗教身份表现带来新机会，但它们也阻碍了他们依据宗教认同采取行动的能力。针对这些阻碍，我们加深了对塑造个体践行身份定义规范和价值观能力的背景因素的理解。 注：原文中“social distancing”直译为“社会距离”，在新冠疫情背景下结合语境可意译为“社交隔离”等类似表述，这里保留了英文未翻译，因为不确定具体要求，若有更明确需求可替换。
