Identity Confirmation Networks and Cooperation in Work Groups
结合社会心理学与网络理论，通过实地研究发现，工作群体中基于身份确认的网络能促进成员间的合作，进而提升团队绩效，并解释了种族多样性的影响机制。
Integrating social psychological and network theory, this field study demonstrates a positive association between identity confirmation–based networks and cooperation and performance in work groups. Mutual identity confirmation (of positive and negative identities) increased cooperation in work group dyads. With position in conventional social networks controlled, structural equivalence in identity confirmation networks also increased cooperation. Advantageous positions in identity confirmation networks enhanced performance through greater cooperation, and identity confirmation mediated effects of race-based diversity.
