Social identity theory was used to investigate the determinants of the current attitudes of 356 Australian (Melbournian) subjects toward the Gulf War. The dependent variables included a scale measuring belligerence, a scale measuring perceived justification for the Gulf War, and a short scale measuring how extensively the outcome of the war was perceived as an environmental issue. Independent variables included the concept "Australia," measured by a semantic differential scale; conservatism and liberalism, measured by Kerlinger's (1984) Social Attitudes Scale; and gender. Multiple regression analysis provided some support for social identity theory. Conservatism and liberalism, however, were the strongest predictors of attitudes toward the war. Men expressed more support for the war than women did. Participants' conservatism and liberalism were predictive of how extensively they perceived the outcome of the war as an environmental issue.
社会认同理论被用于调查356名澳大利亚（墨尔本）受试者对海湾战争当前态度的决定因素。因变量包括一个衡量好战程度的量表、一个衡量对海湾战争认知合理性的量表，以及一个衡量战争结果在多大程度上被视为环境问题的简短量表。自变量包括通过语义差异量表测量的“澳大利亚”概念；通过克林格（1984年）社会态度量表测量的保守主义和自由主义；以及性别。多元回归分析为社会认同理论提供了一些支持。然而，保守主义和自由主义是对战争态度最强有力的预测指标。男性比女性对战争表达了更多的支持。参与者的保守主义和自由主义预示着他们在多大程度上把战争结果视为一个环境问题。
