民族认同的概念、模型和实证研究述评

The Concept, Model, and Empirical Research of Ethnic Identity

摘要: 本文主要对民族认同的概念、模型和实证研究进行分析。结果发现民族认同的早期概念主要从情感、认知成分进行定义，后期概念的定义增加了行为方面的内容；民族认同的测量量表基本上都是基于自我确认、民族态度、民族归属感和民族涉入这四个维度，并有少数量表仅用于特定民族；民族认同的发展模型都大体经过消极到积极的过程；实证研究的证据显示民族认同对幸福感、健康有调节作用。未来研究需要对民族认同概念进行进一步的理清，并对民族认同的测量进行统一，以进一步探索民族认同的作用。

Abstract: In this paper we summarized the concept and the model of ethnic identity, even more we enume-rated numerous empirical research of this topic. Numbers of researchers considered that the concept of ethnic group was defined from emotional and cognitive factors in the past.
