Disaster survivors who feel shared fate identify socially and give emotional support

Evidence

In support of H1, disaster exposure predicted common fate (β =.30, p < .001), and in support of H2, perceiving a common fate was strongly associated with social identification with others affected by the disaster (β =.69, p < .001). In line with H3, social identification was associated positively with emotional social support (β =.16; p < .001). On the other hand, social identification was not associated directly with participation in coordinated social support (β < .01, ns) or with collective efficacy 3We did not use income level because there were a number of missing values that would have reduced the sample size and statistical power. — John Drury and Rupert Brown and Roberto González and Daniel Miranda, Emergent social identity and observing…, 73
