“…Third, results show that PCC has some effects on CSE that are independent from the effects exerted by PGE on this same variable. These effects are of particular importance, because CSE has substantive implications for phenomena as diverse as subjective well-being (Bettencourt & Dorr, 1997;Crocker, Luhtanen, Blaine, & Broadnax, 1994) and ingroup favouritism (De Cremer & Oosterwegel, 2000). We suspect that PCC boosts CSE in a direct fashion because PCC provides a sense of symbolic immortality, which is known to raise group members' self-esteem (Pyszczynski, Greenberg, Solomon, Arndt, & Schimel, 2004).…”

This paper presents two studies, conducted in two different countries, investigating perceptions of ingroups as enduring, temporally persistent entities, and introduces a new instrument measuring 'perceived collective continuity' (PCC). In Study 1 we show that perceptions of ingroup continuity are based on two main dimensions: perceived cultural continuity (perceived continuity of norms and traditions) and perceived historical continuity (perceived interconnection between different historical ages and events). This study also allows the construction of an internally consistent PCC scale including two subscales tapping on these two dimensions. Study 2 replicates findings from the first study; it also reveals that PCC is positively correlated to a set of social identity-related measures (e.g., group identification and collective self-esteem), and that its effects on these measures are mediated by perceived group entitativity. Overall, these two studies confirm that PCC is an important theoretical construct, and that the PCC scale may become an important instrument in future research on group processes and social identity.

“…Luhtanen and Crocker (1992) believed that a certain degree of relationship exists between self-esteem of people and the way they feel about their group membership. They determined that the value people attach to their social group is called collective self-esteem and people with higher collective self-esteem hold positive evaluations of the in-group members and tend to relate more with their social groups (De Cremer and Oosterwegel, 1999). They also report better psychological adjustment (Blaine and Crocker, 1995) and subjective well-being (Bettencourt and Dorr, 1997) as compared to people with lower collective self-esteem.…”

Purpose – This paper aims to show how the relative global status of a country influences its internal country reputation and resulting social cognitions of citizens. Design/methodology/approach – The theories of social identity and collective self-esteem were employed to explain how self-assessment and evaluations of a country’s reputation are regulated by social concepts and vice versa. The structural equation modeling technique was employed to estimate the conjectural relations. Findings – The groups which people belong to are their primary source of pride and self-esteem. But if a country is negatively stereotyped on the global stage, it weakens the ability of people to live their nation’s brand. A formidable nation’s brand can only be constructed if people are deeply involved and committed to it. Practical implications – The results of this study have implications for policymakers, nation’s branding experts and researchers to focus on internal branding of nations. The academicians and researchers should focus more on the internal audiences in their role as a “communication medium” to external audiences. A more purposeful internal branding will promote community strengthening and enable people to act as a mouth piece in communicating a desired experience to external audiences. Originality/value – The existing nations branding literature does not show how relative global status of a country influences self-assessment and evaluations of people’s associations with that country. The present study aims to fill this gap by drawing on the theories of social identity, self-categorization and collective self-esteem to show how people’s self-perception in negatively perceived countries is regulated in relation to their country’s relative global status and its influence on resulting social cognitions.

“…The importance of identity-relevant outcomes such as self-esteem has also been an integral part of social identity theory (Hogg & Abrams, 1988), as, for example, illustrated in the assumption that group memberships provide people with positive self-esteem when their ingroup is evaluated positively relative to other groups (De Cremer & Oosterwegel, 2000;De Cremer, Van Vugt, & Sharpe, 1999). Therefore, it is interesting to note that prior research has revealed supportive evidence that also social identity concerns can affect procedural fairness effects.…”

The present paper explores how leader prototypicality and procedural fairness connect in stimulating follower cooperation. We, first of all, argue that leader prototypicality (the extent to which a leader represents the group identity) enhances positive perceptions about the future. It does so by positively influencing perceptions of the leader's procedural fairness (at least among strongly identifying group members). Such perceptions of procedural fairness, in turn, stimulate follower cooperation. Secondly, we argue that leader prototypicality also facilitates the enactment of fair procedures by increasing the effectiveness that a procedurally fair treatment has on follower cooperation. We present an overview of very recent studies that support both arguments and conclude that group based dynamics, which determine the group prototype, have important influences on the effectiveness with which leaders can stimulate cooperation by means of procedural fairness.In our diverse and internationally oriented society it is important that teams, groups, and organisations fare well to contribute effectively to our welfare. To achieve this end, it is necessary that cooperation and withingroup relationships are coordinated in effective ways. Cooperation reflects the positive behaviours that group members display such as exerting themselves on the job and supporting the organisation or team by contributing individual effort, time, and resources to collective projects
