    Se llevaron a cabo cuatro estudios para examinar cómo la auto identidad y la fusión grupal se relacionan con los autoconceptos, la autopercepción de rasgos agentes y comunales y el deseo de autocomprobación grupal. En el estudio 1 (N1 = 244), se examinó la fusión de identidad en relación con el país y el género, mientras que en los estudios 2 (N2 = 164) y 3 (N3 = 166) las relaciones de los participantes con los grupos sociales importantes y elegidos por ellos analizado. El Estudio 4 (N4 = 796) incluyó a los fanáticos del fútbol, y describieron sus relaciones con otros fanáticos. Los resultados mostraron que la alta fusión de identidad fue descrita por (a) los altos resultados para autoevaluación independiente e interdependiente, excepto cuando se consideró la fusión con el país (estudios 1, 2 y 4); (b) simultáneamente, alta agencia y comunión (estudios 3 y 4); y (c) un fuerte deseo de autovaloración en los niveles colectivos y personales de autodescripción

    Four studies were conducted to examine how self and group identity fusion is related to self- construals, self-perception of agentic and communal traits, and the desire for self- and group verification. In study 1 (N1 = 244), identity fusion in relation to country and gender was examined, while in studies 2 (N2 = 164), and 3 (N3 = 166) participants’ relations with social groups important to and chosen by them were analyzed.

    Study 4 (N4 = 796) included football fans, and they described their relations with other fans. The results showed that high identity fusion was described by (a) high results for interdependent and independent selfconstrual, except when fusion with country was considered (studies 1, 2, and 4); (b) simultaneously high agency and communion (studies 3 and 4);

    and (c) a strong desire for self-verification at the collective and personal levels of self-description
