ترک هنگ کنگ ؟: نقش نگرش، هنجار ذهنی، کنترل درک شده، هویت اجتماعی و محرومیت نسبی

This article reports a study of Hong Kong peoples intention in 1992 to leave after the 1997 Transition. Seventy-one employees in a medium sized organization in Hong Kong responded to measures based on theories of planned behaviour, social identity, and relative deprivation. Identification was associated with status evaluations of Hong Kong rather than perceived personal benefits from living there. Intention to leave was associated with attitudes and subjective norm but not with other variables. Perceived control moderated the relationship of anticipated deprivation to frustration and identification. Among respondents with low control, but not those with high control, anticipated deprivation was associated with greater frustration and lowered identification. We distinguish between leaving the group physically vs psychologically. The results are interpreted as being consistent with a Social Identity Theory perspective on social change and intergroup boundary permeability.
