We assess the strategic alignment of attitudes and the active construction of attitude-based identity across two studies. Study one assessed the twitter response (hashtags in English) to the war in Ukraine for five months after Russia's first invasion of Ukraine 2022 (N = 8149). Results demonstrated that individuals publicly expressed hashtags similar to others close to them in the followership network, showing their support for Ukraine and condemnation of the Russian invasion in qualitatively different ways. Study two was a preregistered Prolific experiment with geographical European participants ran in September, 2022 (N = 1368). Results demonstrated that attitude interaction with ingroup members motivated interactants towards attitude alignment, and attitude alignment strengthened the identification that motivated the alignment in the first place. Results suggest that attitude expression is performative and constrained by one's group relationship with one's audience and the definition of social identity can be constrained by opinion-based identity performance.
我们通过两项研究评估态度的战略一致性以及基于态度的身份认同的积极构建。研究一评估了2022年俄罗斯首次入侵乌克兰后的五个月内推特对俄乌战争的反应（英文标签）（N = 8149）。结果表明，个体在关注者网络中公开表达与身边其他人相似的标签，以质的不同方式表达了他们对乌克兰的支持和对俄罗斯入侵的谴责。研究二是一项预先注册的针对欧洲参与者的Prolific实验，于2022年9月进行（N = 1368）。结果表明，与内群体成员的态度互动促使互动者趋向态度一致，而态度一致又强化了最初促使一致的认同。结果表明，态度表达具有表现力，并受到个人与受众的群体关系的约束，社会身份的定义可能受到基于观点的身份表现的约束。
