In this paper, we hypothesize that, when American adults are primed to think about a common non-political identity (e.g., shared hobby), they are more likely to think positively about members of the other party. However, based on our original survey experimental data, we find that emphasizing a common non-political identity (e.g. shared hobby) <i>does not</i> improve people’s attitudes towards and desires to interact with outpartisan members. Rather, we find that appealing to a common non-political identity or shared hobby had a <i>negative</i> effect on outpartisan behaviors. This is significant because it suggests that in the context of the United States, the common ingroup identity model (CIIM) does not apply to non-political identities like hobbies in encouraging intergroup contact.  <br>

在本文中，我们提出假设：当美国成年人被引导思考某一常见的非政治身份（如共同爱好）时，他们更可能对另一党派成员产生积极看法。然而，基于我们的原始调查实验数据，我们发现强调共同的非政治身份（如共同爱好）**并不会**改善人们对跨党派成员的态度及与之互动的意愿。相反，我们发现诉诸共同的非政治身份或共同爱好会对跨党派行为产生**负面**影响。这一发现具有重要意义，因为它表明在美国语境下，共同内群体身份模型（common ingroup identity model, CIIM）并不适用于像爱好这样的非政治身份，以促进群体间接触。
