Shared identity generates expectations of support and trust among group members

Evidence

In addition to these basic group processes, I will suggest other mechanisms that follow, directly and indirectly, from shared social identity in emergencies and disasters. Importantly, as well as the motivation to provide support, shared identity leads people to expect support from others who share their social category membership, as well as to trust these others to behave in the collective interest. Expected support is a crucial hinge for a variety of behavioural and psychological outcomes. — John Drury, The role of social identity processes…, 16
