Abstract
Can ingroup identification disrupt the negative influence of group attachment insecurities on well-being? In Study 1 (correlational, N=511), ingroup identification weakened the relationship between insecure group attachment and life satisfaction. In Study 2 (ingroup identification experimentally manipulated, N=506), ingroup identification weakened the relationship between insecure group attachment and social support.
