Common ingroup identity interventions fade while community-based shared identities endure

Evidence

Some researchers use the common ingroup identity model102–104 as a theoretical basis for emphasizing the American identity that Republicans and Democrats share. While these interventions often reduce negative attitudes in the moment20,105,106, they may lack durability because people have multiple identities and the salience of their American identities depends on people’s specific context107. Conversely, highlighting more community-based identities (such as shared sports fandom108, religious ties109 or book interests110) may be more successful in the long term111, given their salience in daily life. — Rachel Hartman et al., Interventions to Reduce Partisan…, 42
