- 요약In times of political salience, people want to know about others' politics. Since political identity is a concealable social identity, people have some choice over whether to conceal or signal this identity to others through their behavior. This process of identity signaling has both benefits (e.g., helping to identify cooperative ingroup members) as well as costs (e.g., threats resulting from detection by outgroup members). Additionally, unintentional behaviors may be misinterpreted as deliberate identity signals. This mixed-methods dissertation examines the potential for matches/mismatches in the process of identity signaling through three studies. Study 1's qualitative analysis showed the wide range of behaviors that are seen as signals of political identity by perceivers, resulting in a taxonomy of seven perceived signaling categories: Logos/Symbols, Aesthetic, Tattoos, Social Media, Community, Language/Conversation, and Beliefs/Values. Study 2 examined individuals' self-reported use of these behaviors as political identity signals. Participants were able to classify their behavior using the categories generated in Study 1, but there were discrepancies in the frequencies with which categories were reported by Study 2 participants and perceived by Study 1 participants. Using one's aesthetic (e.g., hairstyle, clothing) to communicate political identity was reported infrequently in Study 2, while it was the second-highest category reported in Study 1. Study 3, an experimental study, examined the consequences of having one's aesthetic-a potentially unclear signal-perceived as a political identity signal, manipulating the target's intent (signaling, concealing, or not considering the impact of their behavior) and the perceiver's ingroup/outgroup status. This study showed that regardless of the perceiver's political identity, having intentional signals accurately read makes someone feel authentic, whereas having one's identity ascertained when they were attempting to conceal it leads to increased identity threat and lowered belonging, authenticity, and self-concept clarity.
