Case studies of clear emergencies lack variability needed for causal comparisons.
Evidence
As a case study, the London bombings analysis was limited in its ability to provide evidence about the role of common fate and shared social identity. In the ļ¬rst place, due to the diļ¬culty of getting people to talk about such distressing experiences, the interview part of the dataset was small. Second, the dataset as a whole was low in variability (for example, reports of help were overwhelming), which meant that it was diļ¬cult to make comparisons and show the eļ¬ects associated with diļ¬erent levels of key variables. What was needed to provide a better examination of the social identity approach to mass emergency behaviour was a study using a comparative design. ā John Drury, The role of social identity processesā¦, 76
