Identity Fusion

Current Directions in Psychological Science, 2015
Identity fusion is a visceral sense of “oneness” with a group and its individual members that motivates personally costly, pro-group behaviors. Past approaches, most notably social identity theory, have assumed that when people align with groups, the group category eclipses both the personal self and the relationships among individual group members ...

Identity fusion and fitness interdependence

Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 2018
AbstractFitness interdependence is the degree to which two or more organisms influence each other's success in replicating their genes. Identity fusion may be a proximate mechanism that aligns behavior with fitness interdependence. Although identity fusion may usually lead to behaviors that are fitness enhancing, in evolutionarily novel environments ...

Identity fusion “in the wild”: Moving toward or away from a general theory of identity fusion?

Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 2018
AbstractWhitehouse's focus on two causes of identity fusion (evolution and shared experiences/biology) deepens understanding of these specific topics. While we applaud his analysis, in his efforts to elaborate these two causes, he has – perhaps unavoidably – produced a narrower conceptualization of identity fusion.

Identity multiassignment in ESM to radar fusion

2006 9th International Conference on Information Fusion, 2006
The development of an algorithm for fusing an ESM track to multiple radar tracks is presented. This work is motivated by the difficulty of associating ESM sensor data with large measurement errors to closely-spaced radar tracks. The algorithm presents a novel approach to fusing identity information.

Multi-Biometrics Fusion for Identity Verification

18th International Conference on Pattern Recognition (ICPR'06), 2006
In this paper, we accomplish matching score level fusion of multi-biometrics. In order to solve the incomparability among different classifiers’ outputs, Adaptive Confidence Transform (ACT) is introduced to convert the raw outputs of different classifiers to the estimates of posteriori probabilities conforming to different users.

Improving Identity Discovery through Fusion

IT Professional, 2009
In a complex, interconnected world, being able to confirm the identity of a person or object is critical. Applications from border control to banking rely on the notion that a system can weed out deception while permitting legitimate access. This trade-off is at the heart of identity discovery.

The Dynamic Identity Fusion Index

Social Science Computer Review, 2015
We introduce a computer-based measure of “identity fusion,” a form of group alignment characterized by a visceral feeling of oneness with a group. Past measures of identity fusion (a single pictorial item and a 7-item verbal scale) have demonstrated a unique capacity to predict willingness to engage in extreme pro-group behaviors (e.g., fighting and ...

Identity Fusion or Fission?

2007
This chapter examines how queer educational administrators negotiate their sexual identity given the context of their professional lives. Through in-depth interviewing, data were gathered on the remembered experiences and reflections of six gay school administrators, one man and five women. A cross categorical analysis was then conducted with interview

Identity fusion: The interplay of personal and social identities in extreme group behavior.

Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 2009
The authors propose that when people become fused with a group, their personal and social identities become functionally equivalent. Two hypotheses follow from this proposition. First, activating either personal or social identities of fused persons should increase their willingness to endorse extreme behaviors on behalf of the group.

On the nature of identity fusion: Insights into the construct and a new measure.

Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 2011
Previous research has documented the consequences of feeling fused with a group; here we examine the nature of identity fusion. Specifically, we sought to determine what fusion is and the mediating mechanisms that lead fused individuals to make extraordinary sacrifices for their group. Guided by the assumption that fusion emphasizes the extent to which
