46,669 responses from 2,577 respondents to 51 items.
| Description | This dataset comes from eight studies and a supplementary study tested the hypothesis that self-verification (receiving evaluations that confirm one’s self-views) increases fusion (a synergistic union with a group, individual, or cause), which, in turn, increases behavioral support for the target of fusion. The data include item-level responses from all studies, covering measures of self-verification, identity fusion, willingness to fight and die. |
