Recent research on social cures has posited that one's social identity associated with group membership can promote adjustment and affect well-being, especially for vulnerable individuals. In this study, we argue that, although the negative consequences of group-based stigma affect prisoners' well-being, having multiple social identities can protect them and mitigate the detrimental effects of stigma. The results of this cross-sectional study reveal that group identification with prisoners ( = 52) was negatively associated with well-being and anticipated discrimination. In contrast, education was positively associated with self-regulation and life satisfaction. Group identification with prisoners threatens self-regulation when the salience is controlled. We discuss the significance of our findings in the context of stigma and resocialization.
近期关于社会治愈的研究认为，与群体成员身份相关的个人社会身份能够促进适应并影响幸福感，尤其是对弱势群体而言。在本研究中，我们认为，尽管基于群体的污名化会产生负面影响，损害囚犯的幸福感，但拥有多重社会身份可以保护他们，并减轻污名化的有害影响。这项横断面研究的结果显示，52名囚犯的群体认同与幸福感及预期歧视呈负相关。相比之下，教育与自我调节和生活满意度呈正相关。当突出性得到控制时，囚犯的群体认同会威胁到自我调节。我们在污名化和重新社会化的背景下讨论了研究结果的意义。
