    Objetivo: Examinar cómo la identidad social y la observación de apoyo social influyen en la solidaridad y la eficacia colectiva tras el sismo de 2017 en México. Método: Se realizó un estudio transversal con 100 estudiantes de la UNAM, utilizando el instrumento de Drury et al. (2016) y preguntas abiertas. Los datos se recolectaron mediante cuestionarios en línea. Resultados: La identidad social predice significativamente el apoyo emocional y coordinado, así como la eficacia colectiva. La observación de actos de apoyo fomenta comportamientos prosociales y una mayor resiliencia tanto personal como comunitaria. Conclusiones: La identidad social y la observación de apoyo son cruciales para promover la solidaridad y la resiliencia comunitaria. El estudio subraya la importancia de estrategias que fortalezcan estos factores para una recuperación efectiva y el empoderamiento comunitario. Se recomienda implementar políticas públicas que refuercen la identidad social y la organización comunitaria para mejorar la respuesta a desastres.

    Objective: To examine how social identity and observing of social support influence solidarity and collective efficacy after the 2017 earthquake in Mexico. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 100 students from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM in Spanish), using the Drury et al. (2016) tool and open-ended questions. Data were collected through online questionnaires. Results: Social identity significantly predicts emotional, coordinated support, and collective efficacy. Observing acts of support encourages prosocial behaviors and greater personal and community resilience. Conclusions: Social identity and observing support are crucial for promoting solidarity and community resilience. The study highlights the importance of strategies that strengthen these factors for adequate recovery and community empowerment. It is recommended that public policies that reinforce social identity and community organization be implemented to improve disaster response.
