“…The results are summarized in Table 1 , along with other study information. Five studies did not report any zero-order correlation; the reason was either that global identity ( Chung and Milkoreit, 2021 ) or the construct of PEB/EC was dichotomized ( Running, 2013 ), or that testing the correlation was not the main interest of the study ( Russell and Russell, 2010 ; Strizhakova and Coulter, 2013 ; Strizhakova et al, 2021 ). These studies conducted other analyses, such as ANOVA ( Chung and Milkoreit, 2021 ) and logistic regression ( Running, 2013 ), and reported a significant relationship between the two constructs.…”

Most of the 35 studies conducted further analyses, such as regression, with a variety of variables controlled for, and still revealed a significant relationship between global identity and PEB and EC.…”

“…The most common type was behavior-related measures, such as intentions to engage in PEB, self-report private-sphere behavioral habits, self-report past behavior, policy support, willingness to pay, and participation in protests. Some studies also included other environment-related measures such as pro-environmental values ( Reysen and Hackett, 2016 ), climate change beliefs (e.g., Chung and Milkoreit, 2021 ), environmental attitude (e.g., Assis et al, 2017 ), EC (e.g., Running, 2013 ), and perceptions (e.g., perception of severity of climate change and perception of whether a global brand was environmentally friendly; Strizhakova and Coulter, 2013 ).…”

“…Global identity has been linked to the promotion of PEB and the mitigation of environmental problems and climate change. Studies were found not just in psychology ( Reysen, 2022 ) but also in business ( Russell and Russell, 2010 ), political science ( Chung and Milkoreit, 2021 ), education ( Wynveen et al, 2012 ), and tourism ( Proyrungroj, 2022 ). Given the growing interests in global identity and PEB and EC, an in-depth systematic review of our understanding of this relationship thus far is warranted.…”

Global issues such as environmental problems and climate change, require collective efforts. Global identity has been linked to the promotion of pro-environmental behavior by international and environmental organizations. In environment-related research, this all-inclusive social identity has been consistently related to pro-environmental behavior and environmental concern, but the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. This current systematic review seeks to examine past studies across disciplines that have reported findings on the relationship between global identity and the constructs of pro-environmental behavior and environmental concern and to synthesize findings on the potential pathways behind this relationship. Thirty articles were identified through a systematic search. We found that most studies reported a positive correlation, and the effect of global identity on pro-environmental behavior and environmental concern was stable across studies. Only nine of the studies empirically examined the underlying mechanisms of this relationship. Three major themes of these underlying mechanisms emerged: obligation, responsibility, and relevance. These mediators highlight the role of global identity in pro-environmental behavior and environmental concern via how individuals relate to other humans and how they appraise environmental problems. We also observed a heterogeneity in measurements of global identity and environment-related outcomes. As a topic of interest in multiple disciplines, a variety of global identity labels have been adopted, such as global identity, global social identity, humanity identity, Identification With All Humanity, global/world citizen, connectedness to humanity, global belonging, and psychological sense of global community. Self-report measures of behavior were common, but observations of actual behavior were rare. Knowledge gaps are identified, and future directions are suggested.

“…Disasters as negative contact alter identities as well Reinhardt & Ross, 2019;Ross, Rouse & Mobley, 2019). Researchers have studied whether disasters boost 'we-ness' across people from different ethnic, religious, or national groups (Chung & Milkoreit, 2021;Gaertner & Dovidio, 2000). Vezzali et al (2018) find that following a disaster, survivors of the majority group reported greater out-group threat and weaker one-group perceptions.…”

How do disasters affect intergroup peace and conflict? Existing research shows that disasters can have opposing effects on how we perceive others: they can exacerbate existing tension in some cases or serve as catalysts for peace and cooperation in others. Yet we know little about the conditions under which we should expect one or the other. In this study, we estimate the impact of disasters on perceptions of out-groups. We combine a dataset of mass disasters with tens of thousands of individual-level survey responses recorded in Round 6 of the Afrobarometer data between 2014 and 2015. Using a difference-in-differences approach exploiting spatial and temporal proximity to disaster occurrences, we estimate the degree to which disasters affect public opinion toward out-groups. As disaster occurrence is plausibly exogenous to interview dates or respondent locations, our approach allows for an improved test of how the shock from disaster can impact public perceptions. Moreover, we show such impact varies by considering the differences in political salience of out-group identities and short- versus long-term differences in the impact on group dynamics. The implications of our findings for understanding the aftermath of past disasters and effects of future disasters on intergroup peace and conflict are discussed.
