This project examines collective memory for a focal group of people in light of identity theory. Identity theory states that individuals enact their identities in everyday interaction, based on feedback. In this study, hypotheses will be tested concerning how collective memory of a high impact epidemic has affected the relationship between a group's behavior and identity, resulting in differences between cohorts. Data will be collected through archival research and interviews. Findings will improve understanding of collective memory and generational differences, with broader relevance to health interventions and policies.Methods for this project consists of archival research and interviews. The archival research will draw from collections of relevant documents from the 1970s to the present in order to identify which historical narratives persist over time and become collective memories. Interviews with people from different generations will examine how themes emerging from the archival work appear in respondents' narratives regarding how they define their identity and experience their behavior. Results will identify potential strategies to manage the long-term social impact of traumatic events, particularly health-related events.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

根据身份理论，该项目研究了一个焦点人群的集体记忆。 身份理论指出，个体根据反馈在日常互动中制定自己的身份。 在这项研究中，将检验假设，以了解高影响力的集体记忆如何影响群体的行为与身份之间的关系，从而导致同伙之间的差异。 数据将通过档案研究和访谈收集。发现将提高人们对集体记忆和世代差异的理解，并与健康干预措施和政策更广泛相关。该项目的方法包括档案研究和访谈。 档案研究将从1970年代到现在的相关文件的集合中汲取灵感，以确定随着时间的流逝，哪些历史叙事持续存在并成为集体记忆。 与来自不同世代的人们的访谈将研究档案工作中出现的主题如何出现在受访者的叙述中，以定义他们的身份和体验自己的行为。结果将确定潜在的策略来管理创伤事件的长期社会影响，尤其是与健康相关的事件。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响来通过评估来支持的。
