In this paper, we describe two basic motives for social identification: a drive collective enhancement and epistemic fulfillment (uncertainty reduction). We posit that these are critical understanding one of the fundamental underlying mechanisms identity theory (SIT): positive distinctiveness, which is desire to feel different from better than relevant outgroups. Whereas “positive” was clearly outlined in original intergroup relations, “distinctiveness” became focal point self-categorization theory. Most existing literature treats distinctiveness as single construct; however, argue “distinctive” elements should be treated separate but critically intertwined concepts. suggest direct feature enhancement, outgroup necessary provides information reduce self-uncertainty. Using subjective group dynamics framework, has historically emphasized motive, mathematically show act sequentially differently affect responses deviance change it.

We conducted 11 online semi‐structured interviews connectors who delivered British Columbia (BC), Canada. used directed content analysis, two authors explored using an perspective. sorted findings deductive approach based on previously published guidance consider program acceptability, adoption, reach, dose, fidelity, feasibility, sustainability, self‐efficacy the program. identified themes could impact implementation, specifically: variability people’s unmet needs, identification resources, team relationships, communication. Participants also shared their perspectives training, support, roles scope within continuum care. At client level, participants noted some challenges for people access services because low income and/or digital literacy. They further provided suggestions shaping future prescribing.

In open innovation projects (OIPs), project members from different participating organizations often have dual social identifications, namely, identification and organizational identification. While such identifications may align or conflict in shaping collaborative behaviors, their micro-level psychological mechanisms performance implications remain underexplored, as prior research predominantly adopts a firm-centric perspective. This study examines how affect OIP performance. The investigation considers mediating role of knowledge collaboration the moderating resource interdependence. Data were collected through questionnaire survey targeting OIPs major high-tech industrial development zones China. results show that drives to collaborate deeply (e.g., sharing core expertise) broadly involving diverse partners), both which boost By contrast, prioritizes expanding breadth over deep collaboration, risks superficial engagement. Too many partners initially help but eventually harm performance, whereas deeper consistently improves addition, interdependence strengthens positive effects on depth does little for extends identity theory field offers novel insights into practices reality OIPs, revealing interact with shape Additionally, it actionable strategies balancing while leveraging governance.

Abstract The UK's National Health Service has introduced Social Prescribing initiatives to tackle loneliness and ill‐health, yet it lacks a theoretical foundation evidence base for Prescribing's effectiveness. Recent research applies the Identity Approach (SIAH) explain health benefits, emphasising how social connection unlocks health‐enhancing psychological mechanisms. This systematic review therefore aims assess UK‐based programmes designed boost alleviate loneliness, examining programme efficacy role of SIAH processes in outcomes. Following PRISMA guidelines, narrative synthesis articles published from May 5, 2006 (when prescribing was first NHS), April 8, 2024, conducted, their quality assessed using CONSORT‐SPI (2018). Of these programmes, 10 employed mixed‐methods design, 8 qualitative 1 quantitative service evaluation, totalling 3,298 participants. Results indicate that value lies rather than quantity connections, with meaningful connections fostering shared identity, perceived support self‐efficacy, latter which sustains engagement post‐programme. useful tool mapping findings onto common framework highlight key proponents.

ABSTRACT While physical activity generally declines in middle‐aged adults, group exercise participation among 40‐64‐year‐old is increasing. This rise may be due to the accessibility of online formats and their ability reflect members' identities. research explores how social identification processes facilitate Zwift, an platform. Seventeen Zwift participants aged 40–64 were recruited for three data collection stages: (1) initial semi‐structured interview on history usage; (2) a two‐week post‐exercise diary capturing experiences; (3) follow‐up discuss topics from first two stages. Data analysed using abductive thematic analysis. supports levels identity abstraction: Identity Continuity, maintaining cyclist through cycling; A Compatible New as Zwifter, formed interaction support; Group Membership, developed in‐team belonging, recognition, status. Mid‐life period transition change. Findings this study suggest four ways that platforms could within platforms, namely (a) empower selection via perceived life‐stage similarity age, (b) enable ‘digital proximity’ text chat participant on‐screen avatars, (c) common fate shared real‐time experiences, (d) belonging pre clubhouse’ media page.
