Solidarity with strangers can arise without prior attachment figures present

Evidence

A more recent test, however, found less support for the predictions of the affiliation approach. A survey of survivors of the December 2013 Haiyan (Philippines) typhoon found evidence of widespread solidarity with strangers, even in the presence of threat and in the absence of attachment figures (Bartolucci & Magni, 2017), conditions which, according to Mawson (2005, 2007), should have led to mass panic. — John Drury, The role of social identity processes…, 42
