How do global citizens respond to a global health emergency? The present research examined the association between global citizen identification and prosociality using two cross-national datasets-the World Values Survey (Study 1, = 93,338 from 60 countries and regions) and data collected in 11 countries at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic (Study 2, = 5,427). Results showed that individuals who identified more strongly as global citizens reported greater prosociality both generally (Study 1) and more specifically in the COVID-19 global health emergency (Study 2). Notably, global citizen identification was a stronger predictor of prosociality in response to COVID-19 than national identification (Study 2). Moreover, analyses revealed that shared ingroup identity accounted for the positive association between global citizen identification and prosociality (Study 2). Overall, these findings highlight global citizenship as a unique and promising direction in promoting prosociality and solidarity, especially in the fight against COVID-19.
全球公民如何应对全球卫生紧急情况?本研究使用两个跨国数据集——世界价值观调查(研究1,来自60个国家和地区的93338人)以及在新冠疫情开始时在11个国家收集的数据(研究2,5427人),考察了全球公民身份认同与亲社会行为之间的关联。结果表明,无论是总体上(研究1)还是在新冠疫情这一全球卫生紧急情况中(研究2),那些更强烈认同自己是全球公民的个体表现出更强的亲社会行为。值得注意的是,在应对新冠疫情时,全球公民身份认同比国家身份认同更能预测亲社会行为(研究2)。此外,分析表明,共享的内群体身份解释了全球公民身份认同与亲社会行为之间的正相关关系(研究2)。总体而言,这些发现凸显了全球公民身份作为促进亲社会行为和团结,尤其是在抗击新冠疫情中的独特且有前景的方向。
