Resumen
Social identity is a factor that is associated with well-being and community participation.
Some studies have shown that ethnic identity goes along with empowerment, and
that interaction between the two leads to greater indices of well-being and community
participation. However, other works suggest a contextual circumstance (i.e., perceiving
one’s own group as a minority and/or being discriminated) may condition the nature
of these relations. By means of a cross-sectional study, we analyzed the relations
of social identification (or identity fusion) and collective psychological empowerment
with personal well-being, social well-being and community participation in a sample
of Basques. A total of 748 Basques participated (63.1% women; age M = 39.28;
SD = 12.13). Individuals who were highly identified or fused with Basque speakers
and who were highly empowered showed higher indices of well-being (both personal
and social) and of community participation than non-fused individuals with low
empowerment. The results also suggest that social identification (or identity fusion)
offsets the negative effects of perceiving the group as a linguistic minority. Collective
psychological empowerment proved to be an especially relevant factor that needs to
continue to be explored.
